"dd" will allow you to read every sector:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null
However I think what you want is to read a specific sector, not "every"
sector. For that you can use the PLscsi program, available from
http://members.aol.com/plscsi/linux/
The command to issue is:
plscsi -x '8 0 aa bb 1 0' -i 512 /dev/sg0
where 0xaabb is the hexadecimal representation of the sector number to
read. This assumes that you have the "sg" module loaded and that the
floppy drive corresponds to /dev/sg0; you can easily make any appropriate
modifications.
