I think you are mixing up the mount point and the device.
/floppy/vfat or /floppy/minux would be the mount point. These
directories exist on your root partition. (If they don't the mount will
fail!) The device is still /dev/fd0. So to mount the floppy once it
is formated the command is "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy/vfat -t vfat"
This says " mount the floppy in device /dev/fd0 on the mount point
/floppy/vfat expecting the vfat file system on the diskette.
