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
