su
mkdir /mnt
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
ls /mnt
umount /mnt

Insert /dev/fd0.720, /dev/fd0.1440, /dev/<whatever> as needed.
Read the 2nd page of /etc/disktab for instructions on making floppies.
I usually prefer to use dos FAT filesystems on my floppies, though...

Replace `mount /dev/fd0 /mnt' with `mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt' for
DOS floppies.
