This is, IMHO, way too complicated. I think a /cdrom is justified because
they're so common, and because the /cdrom mount point itself is fairly common.
But how necessary is a floppy mount point today, and for how much longer? And
specifying jazz, zip, dvd, etc. isn't real scalable. Anything beyond that
(e.g., non-*nix partitions or loopbacks) is getting fairly system-specific, and
is probably outside the scope of what FHS should specify.
