Are you saing that you are not using the mount command?

If you want to use your floppy you have to mount it first with the folloeing
command:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

where /mnt/floppy is an empty directory under /mnt directory.
then go to this directory like:

cd /mnt/floppy

and you can use your floppy like a directory down this point...

You can mount any disk drive to any empty directory. Just read the manual page
for mount and take your time to read more about the UNIX file systems.
