dd will let you access the floppy disk. Do you have any idea what format the files on the floppy disk are? (tar for example).

I do not know your device names (In Linux in general, the floppy is in /dev), so you'll have to read the dd manpage

dd :
Code:
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/somedir/somefile

!!! dd IS UTILITI for DUMP...

1) you need your kernel to understand unix filesystem...
2) mount -t FS_TYPE (see
Code:
# man mount

)
3) thats all...

p.s. i hope i help you...
