Try "mount /floppy" after you have inserted a floppy, "mount /cdrom"
after you have inserted a CD.  ("mount -a" doesn't do it because you
have "noauto" specified for these, which is correct.)

Without mounting, the /floppy and /cdrom directories are just (empty)
mount points, so that's why you don't see anything until you mount the
filesystem there.  You could run various automounting daemons that
look for removable media being inserted, but that sounds like overkill
for your setup.
