Also, please be aware for umount/mount you CANNOT be in the same directory. If you are in /mnt/floppy when you're trying to unmount your floppy, it won't work.
bear in mind that there's root access only commands that won't work even if you "su" to change to root as certain paths are not accessible (without the full path to the command) if you don't su and make that the login shell -> use the "su -" command to load /sbin/ and /usr/sbin in the path. using "su -" will let you just use "fdisk" to start up fdisk. the full path to fdisk is /sbin/fdisk in rh 7.3.
