For statically-known device names and file system types, an amd map
like this should work (modulo your preferred mount options):
--
cd0a type:=cdfs;opts:=ro,nosuid,nodev;dev:=/dev/cd0a
fd0a type:=pcfs;opts:=rw,noatime,sync;dev:=/dev/fd0a
--
For the more general case, where the device names and file system
types aren't known in advance, amd has a "program" mount type, which
calls an external program for the mounting and unmounting. I use a map
that looks like this with some scripts that figure out the
partitioning, file systems, and file system cleanliness on a device,
and mounts all known-safe mountable volumes as a group:
--
/defaults opts:="rw,nosuid,nodev,sync"
* type:=program;\
mount:="/usr/local/sbin/pmount pmount ${key} ${fs} ${opts}";\
unmount:="/usr/local/sbin/pumount pumount ${key} ${fs} ${opts}";
