In which way may I mount my floppy drive (MSDOS) ?

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
 
does not do the job. The floppy led switches on and the system stands 
completly. No possibility to switch to another terminal (with alt-F?), no 
possibility to break the mounting (nothing happens, when pressing Ctrl-C).

I have to press RESET or switch the computer off to start new. :-(
