It has been changed to knoppix floppyconf in recent versions or knoppix floppyconfig for the older versions BTW this is in the cheat codes page and you should file a bug report in the bugzilla.

scan doesn't always work, in my experience.

try: knoppix myconfig=/dev/fda0

I just tried "knoppix floppyconf" on Knoppix 3.3 and it worked. The floppy was formatted as a ext3 filesystem by Knoppix before I saved my configuration to it.

Thank you to the earlier poster that recommend this method!
