On a modern UDEV-based kernel automounted devices show up in /etc/mtab. I've checked this with a flash device but can't with a floppy. My only PC with a floppy drive, which I don't think I've ever used, seems to have a stuffed floppy drive. It won't automount and won't manually mount DOS floppy disks, "mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt", as either vfat or msdos filing systems. > I don't know what these devices are, and I don't know how to find out.

Fedora uses /dev/sr0 for the first CD drive, filing system type iso9660 for a CD and mounts it as /media/VOLNAME where VOLNAME is the CD volume label.
