Or, if you have the mtools package installed, you can just do
"mdir" to peek at the floppy, "mcopy blah a:" to copy to the floppy, etc,
without bothering to mount/unmount things.

This is especially nice because it's easy to forget to unmount a floppy
and then eject it, thus causing a mess (in comparison a cd-rom or zip
drive won't give you the disk back until it's unmounted).
