RE: setting up autofs
if you have used apt-get to install autofs, you can out-of-the box just
cd /var/autofs/misc/floppy
if you want to get to it from /floppy, you could
ln -s /var/autofs/misc/floppy /floppy
if don't really want to bother with the /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc
files...
but if you do, just
man autofs
it is pretty simple, really :)
