Proper command for what? To mount a floppy? I'll assume you want to mount
a DOS-formatted floppy, since you're mailing with Win95, so
cd /mnt
mkdir floppy
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c floppy
Then you can use /mnt/floppy just like any other directory. When done, just
umount /dev/fd0c
There's also a port called mtools for working with DOS floppies without
mounting, but I've never used it.
