Well, there's good news and bad news.

First, the bad news:
There is no floppy driver currently. Hauke Fath is working on one and he has
an experimental driver. I don't remember how much it did, though and you'd
have to compile a kernel with the patch.

Now the good news:
There is a cdrom driver (if you boot up with a CD rom drive you'll see the
kernel recognize it). I think the booter's device builder doesn't create
the cd devices. To get a full device build you have to go into /dev/ and
run the MAKEDEV script (I think MAKEDEV all will do it).

If memory serves, the cd device is either /dev/cd0 or /dev/scd0. I bounce
back and forth between NetBSD and linux so sometimes it's hard to remember :)
