That's what is stated in these messages. And you are right, the mount command only works after you insert a disk into the drive. Before removing the disk you have to "umount" or "eject" it. I prefer the "eject" command, e.g., for the dvd/cd-drive: eject cdrom or in your case eject /media/usbfd After that you can safely unplug the floppy drive.
