You need to mount the floppy. /floppy is an empty directory (not a
file) which is provided for use as a mount point. If it is a
DOS-formatted floppy (typical for transferring a file from a Windows
machine), type 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy'. Then you will see
the contents in /floppy. See 'man mount' for more options.
