First, what kind of floppy do you have ?, I'll presume that you have an
USB one, so make your mount point like: /mnt/floppy

When you connect an USB device like a floppy drive it's mapped to the
first free SCSI device (or at least that's what I think, please some one
correct me if I'm wrong...), that's why the place to look for your mount
point it's /dev/sda

Next let's mount your device by put: 

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sda /mnt/floppy

	Type     Device	   Mount point


That's it, your floppy should be now accessed by ls /mnt/floppy


Hope this will help you...
