You might need to specify exactly what you're trying to mount. # mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /floppy The -t auto tells it to try and autodetect the filesystem. You can also specify the filesystem like ext2 or vfat. man 8 mount has details. If you want to be able to mount without being root, I recommend adding this to your /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto,rw 0 0 Going from left to right, the line is saying to use the first floppy drive, use the mount point /floppy, try to guess the filesystem type, allow users to mount it in read-write mode, don't try to mount it on boot (noauto). The first zero means don't fsck this device on boot, the second means don't dump this in a backup. - -- .''`.
