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

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

Yes, that's right. Checking the man page, that's the right way to
format the command. And, of course, /mnt/floppy must already exist.

My memory is that on either F13 or F14, I was unable to get my floppys
to be recognized no matter what I did and there were some existing bugs
out on such. I never saw a resolution posted and have assumed that "it
ain't going to happen"

In that case maybe you can try a CentOS 6 Live CD/DVD and see if it can read the floppy. Maybe parts of it are old enough to still appreciate that floppy.

Patrick:

Thanks for the suggestion. My solution was get all material on floppys onto CD/DVD and put the floppy drive in the same closet as the 8-track tape player (smile)
