I am learning on Wheezy Beta1, command line only. I am trying to access
the USB stick which was the installation media. The box has 2 SSDs.

When I look for devices with and without the stick plugged in, the
difference is sdc and sdc1 labeled as floppy.
When I try to mount either 'floppy' or 'sdc' or 'sdc1', I get a message
saying the device is not defined.
How do I mount the stick? What should the command line look like?

You should be able to see the devices using:
  ls -l /dev/s*

As root you can mount the device using:
  mount -t <fs> /dev/s??? /<mountpoint>

where <fs> is probably vfat, s??? is the device from the ls command. <mountpoint> is whereever you want to mount it.

You can also create a mount point using the device label as a name and add an entry to /etc/fstab for it, with the option "user" so that a normal user can mount it.
