You could configure autofs. Look at 'man 8 autofs'

The default config has an entry for the floppy. Install autofs.rpm, uncomment 
the floppy line in /etc/auto.misc and do 'rcautofs start'. You'll get 
automounting for the floppy in directory /misc/floppy (the directory doesn't 
exist until you try to access it, so don't create it manually. autofs will do 
it for you)
