Without much knowing what I was actually doing
I just set it to "0"

Voila, I can do
$ mount /floppy
$ umount /floppy
I can also under "Computer" desktop folder, double-click
on floppy icon, it gets mounted, right mouse button has got context menu
mount / unmount / and format
Only quick format, size (density), label, etc are missing (these were
the options of gfloppy tool)
All the rest seems back to normal.
Also I'd much prefer gparted to default gnome-disk-utility
On Lenny, right/mouse/clicked properties tab was showing these
pie-charts of disk usage, not sure how to get this to Squeeze.
Of course I can always use du (disk usage) command
Many thanks
