That the new device name for 1.44 MB floppy is /dev/fd0u1440.
Here is a section from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt
NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
(any model, u). The use of the capital letters D, H
and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
the drive type is insignificant for these devices.
