Mount floppy image

I'm trying to mount a floppy image following the instructions on:

http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/beginners/mdconfig_mount_images

____________________________________

To mount a floppy image, create a virtual device, /dev/md0, for the 
floppy image.

# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/boot.flp -u 0

____________________________________

I had to touch /tmp/boot.flp to make it work


Next:
____________________________________

Now mount the virtual device.
# 	mount /dev/mnt0 /mnt
_____________________________________

I believe there's a typo here should be /dev/md0

I get:

mount /dev/md0 /mnt
mount: /dev/md0 : Input/output error

I have no idea what to do now!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Leslie
