Not sure how you do this under Linux (I can't say I've done it)
but under *BSD it's done using vnodes - ie:

# vnconfig vn0 floppy.img
# mount /dev/vn0 /mnt

# echo "[...] do your thang [...]"

# umount /mnt
# vnconfig -u vn0

That probably doesn't help much, but it might send you in the
right direction  :)

Cheers
