What kind of file system do you have on your floppy disks?  Is it
"good" old msdo?  Then:
 
a. Check the floppy.  Does it have the little plastic piece correctly
   placed?  E.g. can you write to it from DOS/Windows?

b. Check the mount options.  Try to mount it like this:
   'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy' or perhaps:
   'mount -t msdos -w /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy'
