Well, as you can see above, the gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0 works even on 
text-mode !
Returning the message : X display not available - using text-based 
operation.
But mounting the volume : Mounted /dev/fd0 at "/media/floppy"

Unfortunatly, there is no man-page for the gnome-mount command.

I think the problem is that peolpe can try to mount floppy within 
text-mode, with the old mount command, and seeing that there is no mount 
point (/media/floppy), they might want to create this mount point.
And to make such a creation, you must be root, which is not the most 
case....

I try a kind of #gnome-mount -t -d /dev/fd0
but it makes no changes with #gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0
