This sort of device mount is deprecated for many years. Read
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#id319619

OTOH, what are you trying to do?  /dev/fd0 is only for raw device
access.  If you just want to copy files to or from the drive, the path
to your drive is available as /cygdrive/<DRIVELETTER>, as in your
mount table:
