How to mount floppy from rescue system?

Hello,

I need to repair my installation and booted the supplied rescue system (SuSE
7.2, booting from DVD, choosing rescue).

Try as I might, I'm unable to mount my floppy. I try

mount /dev/fd0 /floppy

which results in

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

which I try (mount -t minix /dev/fd0 /floppy)

which results in (regardless of which fs I try)

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many
mounted filesystems


Excuse this trivial question, but how should I mount the floppy?

(I saved the original MBR on it, so I would dearly have it back...)
