The above command won't work because I can't mount the floppy drive.  I 
just get you must specify the filesystem type.

If the file system type is System V I should be able to compile that 
into centos right?

I will try all the other ideas that you all have given me tomorrow but I 
don't mind spending some time tonight compiling for the old file system.

I have run make menuconfig and then navigated to sysv file system and 
placed an * on it then saved the ran make but it gave me a error and 
never finished the make.
