It would be helpful if you gave the error messages too. /A should be a directory, not a regular file. Also try the flag "-t msdos" (assuming it's a dos-formatted floppy). Also, you can only do this as root. For ordinary-user-level access, try the mtools port /usr/ports/emulators/mtools for msdos-formatted floppies.
