Take a look at "/etc/fstab". If you want to make the first command
sequence work, do this:

Look into line that has "/dev/fd0" in it. Substitute "msdos"
(this is FS type in this context, not OS) with "vfat". Save the
file, reboot and look whether you now have long filenames in the
floppy. The floppy should be mounted on "/fd".
