Hi !
The "b" only means that it´s a block (special) device, e.g 2/0
Put something like:

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,sync,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,unhide 0 0

in your /etc/fstab.
The parameter "user" is important. It tells linux that the floppy-device 

can be mounted by a user. If it´s omitted, a non-root-mount is not 
allowed...
