If you made the backup with tar like this:
tar cvfM /dev/fd0 <file list>
then there IS no filesystem on the diskettes, so you *can't* mount them.
You reload them with tar like this:
tar xvfM /dev/fd0
which reloads everything in the archive. If you want to load subsets of
it, then list the parts you want to load as the <file list>.
