You've already received good suggestions,
and answers, and pointers to the "other"
list --- or Google, whatever, IIRC.  And this
one's *not* for fstab.  Just wanted to mention
this for its humor ... everybody needs that on
Monday, right? :-)

First off, understand that I've been thinking
about writing a tongue-in-cheek article
called something like "FreeBSD for MSDOS
users" ... mostly for my own entertainment,
I suppose.

Anyway, this is likely comfy for ex-DOS people.
Make sure you've created /floppy, then
put this in /root/.cshrc or /root/.profile, or
wherever you keep root's aliases... here's
my line from /root/.cshrc:

alias a:   "mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /floppy && cd /floppy && ls -l"

:-D
