First create a directory /floppy

Then execute 

   mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy     # msdos formatted

or

   mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy      # win95 formatted

Use fd1 for your second floppy disk.

If you get error messages about vfat or msdos unknown you need to
check your kernel configuration.

If you add a line similiar like

/dev/fd0  /floppy vfat  noauto,user,gid=25,umask=002    0       0

to your /etc/fstab you can mount floppies using

        mount /floppy

The group 25 is floppy and is used to let normal users (members of
floppy) access the floppy read/write.
