It's whatever suits your taste. I have directories /A: /C: and /D: for mounting
msdos floppy & partitions on: helps the DOSsers to feels at home! (and yes, the
colon is part of the name). Put entries in /etc/fstab, a floppy in the drive,
and people can learn to "mount /A:" very easily.
Cheers,
Ted.
