The solution: the floppy didn't have a file system on it, but a cpio file,
and vold does not mount a floppy with no filesystem on it. However it does
get "mounted" in /vol/dev/rdiskette0, so I was able to extract it with
"cpio -icBdu < /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unlabeled"
Thank you to everyone who answered,I really appreciated it, especially
