Insert floppy, then execute:

mount /dev/fd0 /fd

The best way is to install BL3 to its own HD partition.
If that is not an option, then it is possible to create
a bigger loop file.  If you need directions, see the
archive or ask here.

What does gparted do?

In the archive there is some discussion using foreign
keyboards in BL3.

You can install that from Slackware 4.0 (once you have more space).

BL3 uses the ash shell.  It is very similar to bash and is
able to execute most bash commands.  If you really need
the genuine bash, it can be installed from Slackware 4.0.
