Mounting is what you do to make a filesystem available to the system. When you insert a floppy, you need to mount it in order for it to be seen.
Check out the man pages for the mount command. It should have some examples and explanations of how to mount a filesystem provided you know the device paths to a device you want to mount.

mount_cd9660
MOUNT_CD9660(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_CD9660(8)
NAME
mount_cd9660 -- mount an ISO-9660 filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mount_cd9660 [-egjr] [-o options] [-s startsector] special | node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_cd9660 command attaches the ISO-9660 filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location
indicated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.
The options are as follows:
-e Enable the use of extended attributes.
-g Do not strip version numbers on files. (By default, if there are files with different version numbers on the disk, only the last one
will be listed.) In either case, files may be opened without explicitly stating a version number.
-j Do not use any Joliet extensions included in the filesystem.
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options
and their meanings.
-r Do not use any Rockridge extensions included in the filesystem.
-s startsector
Start the filesystem at startsector. Normally, if the underlying device is a CD-ROM drive, mount_cd9660 will try to figure out the
last track from the CD-ROM containing data, and start the filesystem there. If the device is not a CD-ROM, or the table of contents
cannot be examined, the filesystem will be started at sector 0. This option can be used to override the behaviour. Note that
startsector is measured in CD-ROM blocks, with 2048 bytes each.
SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8)
BUGS
POSIX device node mapping is currently not supported.
Version numbers are not stripped if Rockridge extensions are in use. In this case, accessing files that don't have Rockridge names without
version numbers gets the one with the lowest version number and not the one with the highest.
There is no ECMA support.
HISTORY
The mount_cd9660 utility first appeared 4.4BSD.
