The first reference to /mnt/cdrom should read /dev/cdrom -- that's the
device name, not the mount point. Also, the same should be done with the
floppy. Finally, the dev=3D and the fs=3D entries should be removed for both
devices -- that's set in the third column.
So both entries should read as follows:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto auto,user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto auto,user,rw 0 0

Hope that helps. =3Do)
