What do you see?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 7 15:03 /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd/
Interesting as that doesn't match the pattern /dev/fd?
And, while we're at it, ll of /dev/floppy shows
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr 7 15:03 /dev/floppy -> fd0
fd0 should have been shown by the ls -l /dev/fd? pattern so is that a broken link?
"lsmod | grep floppy" - does it show the floppy module loaded?
If "ls -l /dev/fd0*" does not show a series of device nodes try:
It does - /dev/fd0, along with all 14 sizes of floppies, of a patter /dev/fd0u<disk capacity> <snip> mark
