if this is a DOS formatted floppy, you want:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /floppy

the "-t msdos" tells 'mount' that the file system type is "msdos".  Note
that you also needed the "a" at the end of fd0.  

To mount a dos partition from a hard drive, do:

disklabel wd0

(replace wd0 with whatever hard drive you want).  See which partition is
type MSDOS, then

mount -t msdos /dev/wd0e /mnt

this will mount the dos partition at /mnt.  You could also do something
like
mkdir /dos
mount -t msdos /dev/wd0e /dos

if you prefer to mount at /dos instead.

Hope this helps
