to mount a floppy try:

mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /floppy

other valid formats are QNX, EXT2 and a couple of others i cant remember.
The mount point /floppy can be pretty much anything.

as for cdroms, qnxrtp does a pretty good job of ‘automounting’ such devices.
If you look in /fs you’ll probably find cd0 (your cdrom), and
maybe some hd partitions. This /fs/cd0 is already mounted, so you should be
able to access cdroms from there.

I think you can have an /etc/fstab if you wish; i havnt needed one though…

Hallo

If you have to mount the CDROM drive manually, try

mount -t cd /dev/cd0
