At the prompt, type:
mount
and see what you get. On my box, it's something like this:
HAL9000:~$ mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hdb1 on /space/part1 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb2 on /space/part2 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb3 on /space/part3 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb5 on /space/part4 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb6 on /space/part5 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb7 on /space/part6 type ext2 (rw)
HAL9000:~$
Check and make sure that /dev/fd0 hasn't already been mounted somewhere.
I'm guessing it has.
