A floppy drive disk (dos formatted) is mount with
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
These mountpoints are directories in /, and must exist (those above
are there by default). The devices must exist in /dev, which they
probably do. The mount binary is in /sbin, so the full command is
/sbin/mount, just in case "mount" isn't found.
You might want to read the guide for newusers on the web page,
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ and look around for help for new users.

1. Help with mounting cdrom & floppy drive
CALLING ALL GURUS OF LINUX!!!!!
A friend of mine and I have recently loaded Linux on his 486 Dos m/c. We get
the xterm and stuff but are unable to mount the cdrom. Every time
we try to mount the cdrom it gives a message which goes something
like "wrong fstype, drive already mounted, or drive busy". So how
is the cdrom supposed to be mounted?
Another thing is, the way the A drive is mounted seems to be giving
trouble. When we put in a floppy and check its contents by entering
"ls -la" it gives us the contents . But if we change the floppy the
the listing does not change. So it always gives us the listing of
the floppy which is first inserted into the drive.
I would really appreciate it if the the gurus of Linux
out there can provide any suggestion.
