You need to mount these partitions. You can use some empty
directory to use as mount point. If these directories doesn't
exist, create them with mkdir.
To mount your DOS partition, do:
mount -t msdos /dev/hda /mnt
To mount your floppy, do
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
and your disks will be mounted. To change the floppy,
you *must* un-mount the floppy first with:
umount /floppy
change the disks, and mount it again.
Don't forget to un-mount *all* your manually mounted
systems before shutting down. Read the mount manual,
with:
man mount
to known more about it and their options, like "-t".

Do:
dselect
Don't forget to read dselect's documentation, or you
can have problems.
