First check whether the floppy which you are trying to mount is a dos
formatted floppy (FAT filesystem). If it is a new one, then most
probably it would be so, since many of the new floppies come
pre-formatted with FAT filesystem.
Use the command
mount -tvfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
If you want to format the floppy with the Linux filesystem (ext2), then
use the format command. Once, you have the Linux file system, you can
mount a floppy directly using
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
