If I read this right, you never succeed in mounting the floppy disk. Hence,
rpm can't find it. Do this:
Step 1: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
--> be sure to peave a space between fd0 and /mnt, and use floopy
instead of floppy if that misspelling wasn't a typo in your message.
Step 2: ls -l /mnt/floppy
--> see what filenames are listed. They are the ones you have to use
with rpm.
Step 3: ***OR*** you can do Step 1 this way (WARNING - untested idea may not
work) mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
--> if this works it will give you access to your long filenames. If
it doesn't, you'll have to use the earlier message, which will give you only
the dorkier 8.3 MSDOS-style filnames.

This is where your problems occurred. mdir gives you a listing of the files
on the floppy, but it doesn't mount it. And you didn't execute either mount
or mmount correctly, either of which would have mounted it if done right.
