Please change that last line in /etc/fstab to:
/dev/fd0 /home/dave/fd vfat rw,noauto,user,noexec 0 0
(i.e. that last "1" needs to be "0").
After updating /etc/fstab, please regenerate the initramfs just in case.
As root:
update-initramfs -u
Then reboot to test the changes, without a floppy inserted. It should
not attempt to fsck /dev/fd0.
