An apt configuratior is one of the critical features the boot-floppies team
sees as necessary for potato's boot floppies.

Is case not important? Anyway, if that's the real values, the man page
should be fixed, it confusingly uses "/cdrom/"

       cdrom

            CDROM URIs; the only setting for CDROM URIs is the mount point,
	    cdrom::Mount which must be the mount point for the CDROM drive
	    as specified in /etc/fstab.  It is possible to provide alternate
	    mount and unmount commands if your mount point can­ not be
	    listed in the fstab (such as an SMB mount). The syntax is to put
	    "/cdrom/"::Mount "foo"; within the cdrom block. It is important
	    to have the trail­ ing slash. Unmount commands can be specified
	    using UMount.
