For DOS floppies:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

For UNIX floppes:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

Before ejecting disks, do:

umount /mnt

or you'll be sorry.

I don't see any native Pascal compilers in our ports tree, but there are
two Pascal to C converters; see http://www.freebsd.org/ports/, category
Lang.

For COBOL, I think a commercial compiler is available, although I can't
find it in our software gallery.  Check the mail archives at
http://www.freebsd.org/search.
