floppy drives don't mount

Hi,
I've been using Gentoo for developing an OS, and now I wanted to try to dd the created image to a real floppy drive (before I've used bochs), and so I thought that I should mount my floppy. But, when I try to do some simple sudo mount /dev/fd/0 /mnt it says /dev/fd is not a block device. I have checked google with this error, but nothing helped... So, please, if you can, help me

Thanks a lot.

Try /dev/fd0 instead.

Thanks for reply, but it didn't help: no such file or directory.

Did you compile the support for your floppy drive into your kernel? If you compiled it as a module: Did you load the module?

I've compiled my kernel with genkernel, but I haven't enabled anything...
How to load modules?
