As root: 
  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
  mount -t cd9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
replace /dev/cdrom by the name of your cdrom device (eg /dev/acd0a),
/dev/fd0 by the name of your floppy device (it may be correct
already), /mnt/* by the names of your desired mount points, and msdos
by the filesystem on the floppy (if different).

As normal user: see
