	Hmmm...  Are you asking for a solution, or passing on info? :)

	If you're asing for a solution, simply mkdir a directory called
something like /dosa and 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /dosa' to that.  There
shouldn't be any directories stemming from /dev/fd0 with a standard
installation (/dev/fd0 is your first DOS floppy drive, and I believe it has
to be 3.5", but I could be wrong.  With a standard installation, /dev/fd0 is
the device, not a directory.).

	If you've figured all this out already, please disregard this
message... :)

	E.
