bash-2.05a# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
same when i try to do
mount /de/cdroms/cdrom <-cd burner
and
moutn /dev/hdd <- DVD drive

Try
| Code: | | mount /dev/floppy/0 /mnt/floppy |
Also, is your devfs getting mounted at boot (check mount output, it should or it should refuse to go further) and is devfsd running (ps -A | grep devfsd)? I'm grasping for straws here but I'd have to think that a problem with devfs could be a cause of this kind of thing.
If your dev fs is up... what is the output of
| Code: | | ls /dev/floppy/0* -l |
Do you know if the floppy drive WORKS (ie, under another OS)? |

Yes I just switched from windows XP. Plus I get the same error with my cdrom0 and hdd <- dvd.
| Code: | bash-2.05a# mount /dev/floppy/0 /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/floppy/0 is not a valid block device |
and the devfs stuff
| Code: | bash-2.05a# mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
tmpfs on /mnt/.init.d type tmpfs (rw,mode=0644,size=1024k)
bash-2.05a# ps -A|grep devfsd
29 ? 00:00:00 devfsd
bash-2.05a# ls /dev/floppy/0* -l

Have you compiled the correct block driver support into your kernel? It's a top-level option on {menu|x}config for the kernel. "Block Devices" I believe... You'll want to make sure floppy support is enabled there. I'm not sure about the DVD player as I don't have a DVD.
Your ls of /mnt/floppy matches mine exactly. Are you logged in as root when you try and do the mount? (I just notice that on your machine root is the owner and on my machine the currently logged in user is the owner) |

Have you tried
| Code: | | mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -t msdos |
or
| Code: | | mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 |
