It requires a floppy disk with a file system installed.

Make a mount point that means something to you. One suggestion, fd0, then mount the device to it. Working as root and from /:

mkdir fd0
mount /dev/fd0 /fd0

If the command completes you will have a filesystem attached at fd0 that you can read from or write to.

Be sure to umount /fd0 when you are done.
