I was able to mount the cd rom on the KDE desktop, and it work. It only 
needed to point to the /dev/acd0 in the Device tap of the icon. However, 
I can't do this with the floppy. I can't find where the mount point is 
on the Device tab. Also, I can't mount he floppy from the command line. 
When I use % mount /dev/fd0 /floppy, I get /floppy: no such directory. I 
tried the same command with /media instead of /floppy since that's where 
the hard drive and cd rom are, but I get the same message.

I can't seem to find the floppy device anywhere.

I appreciate your help with this.

Enrique

I'm using the KDE environment in a PCBSD distro of FreeBSD. The hard 
drive and the cdrom seem to be present in the /media directory. There's 
an fd folder with three files 0, 1, and 2 on the /dev directory, but 
these seem to be empty. Also there's an fd0 file in the /dev, but it's 
also empty.
