The ownership and permissions of the mount point directory are, and
always have been, totally irrelevant to the ownership and
permissions of the mounted filesystem.  For filesystems, like the
FAT variants, that do not support Unix permissions and ownership,
those parameters are set up at mount time for the entire filesystem.
The relevant mount options are "uid", "gid", "umask", "dmask", and
"fmask".  See the manpage for the /mount/ command for details.  You
can put a line in /etc/fstab to specify the mount point and options
for the floppy device (be sure to include the "noauto" option), and
most automounters will see and respect that.

Yes, there can be SELinux context issues about whether a confined
process is allowed to use a particular directory as a mount point,
but once the mount has succeeded you are past that point, and
_nothing_ about the permissions of that mount point directory
apply any more.
