Ubuntu  makes use of sudo, the first user create (during the install) is able 
to  run any command.  Simply add sudo to the front of the command, such  as:

sudo mount -t fat /dev/fd0 floppy

when it requests a  password, enter your password.



I tried this and it returns a lot of text which seems to be from the User's  
Manual (which I understand about 5%).  The floppy does not seem to be  
mounted.  I will reboot from cold and see if any parameters are  reset.
 
Thanks
