Why are you trying to mount a MFS with its backup storage on this
floppy? :-)

The mount_* commands are not supposed to be human-usable, they are
backend commands to be used by mount(8) (using the -t option if
required, albeit things like NFS are being figured out automatically).

So:
	mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

(All this doesn't belong to -hackers, but to -questions.  Please
redirect followups there.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
