Tom:

These two commands will work with #1 being the prefered method using the 
vfat file system.

1)  mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 

2)  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

Using mount without the "-t filesystem" argument assumes a Linux ext2 file
system. You can mount FAT16, FAT32 & NTFS windoze partitions, also.
"man mount" for more info.

To unmount:

umount /mnt/floppy
