If you use fdformat to format the floppy in Linux, you still need to use
mkfs to build a file system on the floppy.  Otherwise, you will still
get this error, even after the format.

/dev/fd0 is only permitted if fdformat knows the format already or can
find it out from the floppy.

You can use mount /mnt/floppy to try again.  Or better still, get a disk
you know is good... and try mounting that.

Good Luck,
James Kosin
