Put the following lines in /etc/fstab...
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 noauto,user 0 0
Then you should be able to mount floppies and cds with
mount /floppy
mount /cdrom
Have a look at the fstab manual page to understand the options (you
might have to change the /dev/cdrom entry to your cdrom device).
For the msdos partition try something like
/dev/hda3 /dos msdos defaults 0 0
Where "/dev/hda3" you replace with your msdos partition. This should
then get mounted at boot time (or become root and "mount /dos"). Make
sure that an empty directry /dos exists! There are lots of options for
msdos partitions as many unix features are unsupported.
If you have any more problems, feel free to mail me.
Cheers,
Graeme
