check your /etc/fstab for a /mnt/floppy . . . then make sure you have this on the options on the right, but not after the numbers on the right:

users

Just be sure you have a comma after whatever is already there and it should all look like this:

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto users,noauto 0 0

Do the same thing for your cdrom, and hope that helps.
