To mount the floppy, this will most likely be the syntax
cd mnt
mkdir floppy (if it is not already there)
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (be sure you have a vfat formatted floppy disk in the drive)

gitmount
gitmount(1) General Commands Manual gitmount(1)
NAME
gitmount - GNU Interactive Tools - auto-mount script
SYNTAX
gitmount device
DESCRIPTION
gitmount is a script which allows you to mount any block device without specifying the file system type. You may now insert the floppy in
the drive and type ' gitmount fd0' and the first floppy will be mounted in the directory /mnt/fd0. On Linux just press F11 or F12. You
don't need to know the file system type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0 and /mnt/fd1 are created if they don't exist.
