How are you calling mount?  As said in another post you can add 
this to /etc/fstab.  But you don't _have_ to.  You should be able
to mount floppy or cdrom with the following syntax:

cdrom (on /dev/hdc to directory called /cdrom):
  mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /cdrom
floppy (/dev/fd0(a) on directory called /a):
  msdos:
    mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /a
  ext2:
    mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /a
