I'm not sure why you get that error when trying to enter /mnt/floppy, but with ejecting it... you can't so that with software, you have to push the button in on your case. Software can't control the mechanism.

Read the man page for eject, particularly the notes:
Quote:
NOTES
Eject only works with devices that support one or more of
the four methods of ejecting. This includes most CD-ROM
drives (IDE, SCSI, and proprietary), some SCSI tape
drives, JAZ drives, ZIP drives (parallel port, SCSI, and
IDE versions), and LS120 removable floppies. Users have
also reported success with floppy drives on Sun SPARC and
Apple Macintosh systems. If eject does not work, it is
most likely a limitation of the kernel driver for the
device and not the eject program itself.

The -r, -s, -f, and -q options allow controlling which
methods are used to eject. More than one method can be
specified. If none of these options are specified, it
tries all four (this works fine in most cases).

Eject may not always be able to determine if the device is
mounted (e.g. if it has several names). If the device name
is a symbolic link, eject will follow the link and use the
device that it points to.
...

You need appropriate privileges to access the device
files. Running as root or setuid root is required to eject
some devices (e.g. SCSI devices).


The main question in your case is whether your system supports ejecting a floppy. The only system I've ever seen that does is the Mac -- no, I've never actually seen a Sun SPARC and although I have seen a Lisa in person, I don't know whether it had the same floppy hardware as a Mac.
