As far as I know, DiskCopy is a MacOS utility.

The short answer to the question you just asked is basically:

Short way:  use /dev/rfd0a when mount a floppy.  This is the 'raw'
(block) device, rather than the 'cooked' device (which can be as a
character-at-a-time device).  Also, unless you are mount an FFS or UFS
floppy, you will probably to include a '-t' type flag.  The '-t' will 
vary depending one what is on the floppy.

'man mount' should give you the rest of the details.
