It has something to do with your floppy. I did a google search and here is what I found maybe you can make something of it. It either means that is 0% full or 0% free not suer though.

The 0% means 0% full. /dev/fd will always show up. It is the floppy device handler. If you insert a floppy the % full will change to indicate how much of the floppy is full. i.e. floppy size = 1.44 MB and it has 0.72 MB of data on it then fd will show up as 50% full.
