(as root) Mount the floppy. The directory /mnt/floppy must exist, be empty and NOT be your current directory.
• mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

• mount /mnt/floppy

• mount /mnt/cdrom

Question:
If we want to mount a hard drive with a file system do we use this command?
mount -tvFAT/dev/hdd/?
My other question is what is hdal?
Also I wanted to know that do we use the same commands in Unix OS that we use in Linux?

That is close, you need a little white space such as:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1
First, if you haven't already, scan for your drives such as:
/sbin/fisk -l
That will show what drives the system can see and what type of filesystem is on each numbered partition.
That should get you closer. It is possible that
your linux system was not setup to support vfat, so don't get discouraged
right away.
hda mean first IDE hard and 1 means First partition.
hda1 means first partition of first IDE hard.
