I have the following lines in /etc/fstab (among others):
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 defaults,user,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
The option 'user' allowes normal users (and not only root) to
mount/unmount these devices, 'noauto' prevents that these are mounted on
boot time...
After that, mount the cdrom/floppy with
mount /cdrom or mount /floppy
respectively and unmount them with
unmount /cdrom or umount /floppy
You will find the files then in the directories /cdrom resp. /floppy.
Which device the cdrom is, you can see at boottime, when you read the
messages the kernel displays, e.g. on my system it is /dev/hdc
