Did you use 'cp /boot/vmlinuz /dev/fd0' or something simulair as root?

If you did this, you destroyed your filesystem on the floppy. There is
no way to mount it...

If you feel lucky (maybe, I never tried this...) you can copy the file
with 'cp /dev/fd0 vmlinuz'.

In the future, use 'mcopy' to copy a file to a floppy.
You can do this as a normal user.

Good luck,
Cees.
