Yeah sure - im running redhat linux (7.2) and basically want to mount my floppy + cdrom, and also mount a samba share to my win2000 machine so they are all available on boot up.

Here is my /etc/fstab

/dev/fd0 /fl auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0

/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noauto 0 0


and when I want to mount CDROM or Floppy I just type mount /cd or mount /fl. option user in /etc/fstab alows anyone to mount the device.

BTW You can try to mount CD or floppy by bootup by replacing option 'noauto' with 'auto'. And mounting floppy and cdrom on boot is bad idea as system will hang for few minute(s) if tray is empty
