I hate to ask, but did you try it? The fd0...fdn devices are supposed to 
auto-detect the actual capacity and density of the disk in the drive.

If that doesn't work, I think you'll have to configure the appropriate 
floppy devices for hal to create them.

Wow, I guess floppies are dead. I've been running FC5 for months and 
just now noticed that it never set up floppy access at all.
