here is the output of commands
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[root@linux01 ~]# mount -v /dev/floppy-fd0 /media/floppy
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/floppy-fd0

Trying hfsplus
mount: block device /dev/floppy-fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/floppy-fd0

Trying hfsplus
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

[root@linux01 ~]# mount -v -t vfat /dev/floppy-fd0 /media/floppy
mount: block device /dev/floppy-fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
