It's the Department of Homeland Securities here in the US. ;) I'm all for
/mnt, and since the CD-ROM should be autodetected upon install (what about net
installs later? Or installs directly from an image on a hard disk?), that
wouldn't be a bad idea. As for error messages (either for the cdrom or
floppy), putting in 'noauto' would make it not try to mount unless the user
requested it, and then they'd be able to fix it.

So, in summary:

1) Put /mnt back on the ISO
2) Put /mnt/cdrom on the ISO with an entry in /etc/fstab and the extra
options,
'noauto,user' using the detected CD-ROM (for now, if none are detected, leave
the entry out).
3) Put /mnt/floppy on the ISO, same options and contingencies as for #2.
