No, it shouldn't necessarily be listed in fstab, but I suppose it could
be.  In any case, use of mount(8) should do.  Read that manpage.  Also,
this would be probably be more appropriate on the freebsd-question list.
Assuming that the floppy is DOS formatted, you could do something like
this (as root):

# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
