  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.
