This will work if the disk is a linux formatted ext2 filesystem.

If the floppy you're trying to mount is from a dos system or something of
the like, you'll have to re-specify that filesystem. You can either edit
the fstab or pass it on the command line :

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt -t msdos

etc, etc, etc.
