Do they really need to mount floppies or do they simply need to be able 
to read, write, and format floppies? If mounting isn't really needed 
look at mtools is the ports/packages. All you'll have to do is set 
proper permissions on the floppy devices for the proper users to be 
able to use mtools. And you'll never have problems with a user 
removing a mounted floppy.
