You probably have only one floppy on a modern machine, and you can mount
it using

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

But you probably don't want to mount it anyhow, because you can only
mount filesytems, and you're implying that yuou have a copy of a VOL file
on the floppy, not a filesystem. BTW, how did you write the VOL file
onto the floppy?

Try:

dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=18b of=/tmp/VOL.000.000
