Not running redhat, but it seems to be a kernel issue.  The kernel sees 
the drive at startup (ATAPI floppy) but doesn't see a partition table or 
any media, so it makes no device node.  This could probably be remedied 
by compiling ATAPI floppy support as a module and loading it when needed 
(after a disk has been inserted).
