This is my entry, which works under FC2 to do exactly what you want.

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto    noauto,user,exec,kudzu 0 0

(well, I cut some space for readability)

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
