Yes it is a msdos formatted flopyy.
Thus, I cannot mount it?

No idea if it makes any difference but I always did:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

If that does not help, some suggestions for a couple of things to check:

- is it supposed to be /dev/fd0? Did you check in /var/log/messages
  could it be /dev/fd or /dev/fd1 or something else?
- do you have the floppy kernel module loaded?
- did you check the output of ls -l /dev/fd*? Does it look ok?
- is /mnt/floppy ok? Do you have the proper rights to access it?
- if all else fails, blame SELinux for keeping you safe from those
  pesky floppy viruses and temporarily do setenforce 0 and try again

Patrick
