There is no need to mess with mtools for something so simple.

Try this 
mount -t msdos /dev/floppy /mnt/floppy

The files on the floppy will appear in /mnt/floppy access the DOS
files just as if they were Linux files.

Or if there is a line in your /etc/fstab for /mnt/floppy
you can type "mount /mnt/floppy"

See "man mount"
