This depends on what you intend to do. The floppy devices are /dev/fd0a
and /dev/fd0b. The first is used to access amiga formated disks and the
latter for dos formatted disk. Mounting is straightforward as you would
do with hd partitions, cdroms or zip disks. Of course, you access the
floppy devices with cpio and/or tar directly too.

PS: fd0 refers to the internal disk drive.
