Charlie,

Easy one ! :-

 mount_msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt

...mounts a dos 1.44 floppy in drive A on  /mnt

or you can ditch the floppys altogether and use something like :-

 mount_msdos /dev/wd1s1 /mnt

...to mount the DOS partition of your Harddisk. (This is presuming you 
have a DOS partition - also you may need to use a diferent device than 
/dev/wd1s1 depending on what sort of Harddisk you have, and how you 
partitioned it.)
