/dev/fd/0,1,2 are file descriptor devices as far as i know.They have no 
relation to your floppy disk device.Your floppy disk device entry is 
commonly named /dev/fd0 and if you dont have such device entry in dev it 
  means (in most cases) that operating system didnt recognize your 
floppy drive.Maybe it is disabled in BIOS ?
And please post your dmesg here.
