You should mount the diskette first. Use
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Then you can access the contents of the floppy from /mnt/floppy directory. After
finished
using it, you will unmount it with
umount /mnt/floppy
Here, '-t vfat' tells mount that the medai has FAT file system with long file names.
'/dev/fd0' refers to your A: drive. '/mnt/floppy' is called the mount point. Such a
directory must exist before mounting a device to that directory. Probably, manpage for
mount will give you all the details you may need.
