As you can see, there are no automounts for /mnt/floppy or /mnt/cdrom

Thus - to mount cd or floppy, I have to 'mount /mnt/cdrom' or 'mount
/mnt/floppy' manually

I believe that if you want automount - you must change the 'noauto' to
'auto' and then it still would only work for root and since I am
generally running as a user, you might want to change 'owner' to 'user'

The problem with automount is that there is no 'auto unmount' so you
still have to manually unmount these things so it seems that there is
little to benefit from auto mounts on removable devices.

Audio CD's apparently do not mount at all, but the players play them.
