Did you mount it with the correct options?:-

mount -t affs /dev/fd0 /media/floppy ??

You need the affs module loaded I think.  I havent done this for years,
but if I remember, the issue was actually with the floppy controller and
amiga formatted disks, not the drives.  If that doesnt work or you did
that then I cannot help :p
