You can do it two ways:
1) mount and unmount it.
2) Use the mtools (mdir, mcopy, mdel, ...) to treat it like DOS

1. Mount them with FS type "fat" or "msdos"
2. or use the mtools (man mtools for details)

1. Problems with reading floppy disks on Thinkpad 755c
I have a Thinkpad 755c reasonably successfully loaded with Redhat 5.2.
Even got X windows working! The only 'fly in the ointment' reading
from floppy disks. I can read the directory using mdir initially but
any attempt to copy files results in an error and then mdir doesn't
work. I believe the drive to be Ok and the disks can be read on other
machines, so any pointers as to why this should happen?
