This will fail on most floppies, as standard formats don't have a
partition table.

OK

Should be:
mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbdisk1
After you've verified that it works, unmount it (umount /mnt/usbdisk1)
and add/modify the line in /etc/fstab:
You probably already have:
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
Change it to/add:
/dev/sda /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
Then as an ordinary user, you can "mount /floppy" and see the disk
contents on /floppy.
