try something like  
	#
	# /etc/auto.misc
	#
	# ...
	#
	# pick the one you like to allow users to automount your fd or not
	#
	# floppy  -fstype=auto                    :/dev/fd0
	# - or -
	# floppy  -fstype=auto,user,sync 	  :/dev/fd0
	# - or -
	# floppy  -fstype=vfat,sync,nodev,nosuid,umask=0 :/dev/fd0
	#

assuming  /etc/auto.master has
	/.autofs        /etc/auto.misc  --timeout 60

you can see the floppy with:
	ls -la /.autofs/floppy

- its a bad idea to automount fd.... pop your mounted floppy
  and watch things go bonkers
