I use the automounter.
Mount /mnt config file reads:

        C               -fstype=vfat,ro         :/dev/C
        D               -fstype=vfat,umask=000  :/dev/D
        archive         -soft,intr,ro           shot:/StorNext/Archive
        cdrom           -fstype=iso9660,ro      :/dev/cdrom
        cdrom           -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
        cdrom2          -fstype=iso9660,ro      :/dev/cdrom2
        cf              -fstype=vfat,umask=000  :/dev/cf
        dvd             -fstype=udf,ro,nosuid,nodev:/dev/dvd
        dvdext2         -fstype=ext2            :/dev/dvd
        dvdram          -fstype=ext2,nosuid,nodev:/dev/dvdram
        dvdramudf       -fstype=udf             :/dev/dvdram
        e2floppy        -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0
        floppy          -fstype=auto            :/dev/fd0
        nfs                                     :/nfs
        zip             -fstype=ext2,nosuid,nodev:/dev/zip

Then you just need suitable symlinks in /dev for /dev/dvd etc, pointing at
the appropriate real devices.

In retrospect, lighting the match was my mistake. But I was only trying to
retrieve the gerbil.    - Vito Bustone
