Do a"modprobe floppy" first. Then you get the floppy device in /dev:

/dev/fd0u1040
/dev/fd0u1120
/dev/fd0u1440
/dev/fd0u1600
/dev/fd0u1680
/dev/fd0u1722
/dev/fd0u1743
/dev/fd0u1760
/dev/fd0u1840
/dev/fd0u1920
/dev/fd0u360
/dev/fd0u720
/dev/fd0u800
/dev/fd0u820
/dev/fd0u830

Now you can create the directory /mnt/floppy and mount your floppy to 
that point:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1440 /mnt/floppy
