So, it worked. Note: if floppy was inserted prior to modprobe, it does not automount - you have to double-click the unmounted floppy in order to see the contents. Older versions of Fedora used to automount the floppy when it was inserted - this feature was removed in later fedora versions, or so it seems.
I tried the same for LiveCD F15, did modprobe for which the unmounted floppy icon appeared, but I was not able to mount nor open floppy. This mechanism appears to be broken. Did not try the manual mount as posted in this thread.
