I suppose it could be, depending on what the filename was. Floppies with
msdos filesystems only show the DOS 8.3 filenames under Linux. If the driver
had a longer name when downloaded, you may be trying to open it under the
wrong name. Could also be a mode problem if this is an executable (rather
than, say, a file you are untar'ing).

If that's not it, send the command you are executing as well as the error it
returns, along with an ls -l of the mounted floppy.
