For the floppy drive try:
	mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

For the CD try:
	mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Just make sure you have the /mnt/xxxxxx directory already created (this 
is called the "mount point." 

For more info:
	man mount

To un-mount, use the "umount" command "man umount" for info. You have to 
un-mount the cd before you can eject it.

Hope this helps.
