This might be a "permission" problem. Please check the output of the following Konsole command:

    ls -l /dev/fd0*

still trying-more into-running maverick meerkat beta 2. I.m trying to flash my bios which is why I'm trying to use the floppy. So far no luck. Can't get into root. I'm new to linux so i'm pretty clueless here. It probably doesn't help that the machine in ancient.( originally had ME for the O/S

If you are new to Linux, you should consult forums, such as http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://forum.kde.org/

They can also help in providing the additional information needed to resolve a bug, such as the information requested in comment #1.
