mount /dev/fd0    that is a zero not the letter o

if this fails their is a problem with the disk, or drive.

to access the files once mounted

cd /mnt/floppy

remember to 'umount /dev/fd0' unmount it or the os will not be happy
with you.

in GNOME i noticed the mounted will auto mount any partion style without
complaint, i.e. dos/windoz machine disks will work just fine and
unmounting the drive is simple, just click once on the drive icon that
is mounted.  to add a mount use the add applete option in the GNOME pop
up menu, add two drives then you can right click on one and set its
properties to the cdrom drive (/dev/cdrom)  now you can access these
right from the desk top or menu bar!  Have fun
