devfsd creates symlinks from old device names to devfs device names. /dev/hda1 will be a symlink to ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1. Your /dev/cdrom will be a symlink to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0. So "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy" will still work, or you could mount the device with "mount /dev/floppy/0 /floppy". -- Jerome
