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)

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. BUGS
