Hey there,
As far as I know there isn't something like this in FreeBSD. However,
please find attached a short c program written by Omachonu Ogali that
allows normal users to mount the cdrom (you can obviously modify it to
mount the floppy as well). To install it, simply do the following: (as
root)
cc -o sucd sucd.c
chmod 4555 sucd
mv sucd /usr/local/bin
What you're doing there is setting the binary as setuid which allows
people to execute it as root, and allows them to mount/unmount the CD.
I would warn against this. ONLY root should ever mount/unmount file
systems, so unless you _really_ trust these users, I wouldn't allow
this.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Marc

We can embrace love; it's not too late.
Why do we sleep, instead, with hate?
Belief requires no suspension
to see that Hell is our invention.
We make Hell real; we stoke it's fires.
And in its flames our hope expires.
Heaven, too, is merely our creation.
We can grant ourselves our own salvation.
All that's required is imagination.
