If it's listed in /etc/fstab, you can mount it easier, but you can
still mount it if it's not listed there. You just have to give the
full command:
mount -tmsdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt
^^^^^ ^^^^
| +--disk size (commonly 360, 720, 1200 or 1440)
+--filesystem type (msdos, ufs, etc...)
or something like that according to your needs.

That would be
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV fd0
exactly, right?
