Milo, as bnt says for Unix type OSes drives have a /dev reference & you then mount them to wherever you like to access them.

/dev/fd0 is the first floppy drive as defined in the BIOS, /dev/fd1 the second & so forth.

You then mount the drive to access the diskette - the mount point takes whatever name you want, although there are conventions & pre-configured options.

You could even unmount fd0 & subsequently mount fd1 to the same mount point, say /media/stiffy.
