Take a look in your /etc/fstab file. You'll find info about your drive system,
and the names the system uses to address them, (These can be edited), for
instance from, "floppydrive0", to, "fd0", for brevity. Then type:

mount /dev/fd0 <return>

You then address the drive through, "/mnt/", like:

ls /mnt/fd0 <return>

or

cd /mnt/fd0 <return>

If you have trouble mounting the drive check the /mnt directory to see if,
"fd0", is in there. If not, you'll need to make a link to the drive there,
though

mkdir /mnt/fd0 <return>

should work just as well.
