This brings up something I was curious about. I'm used to having a
/mnt/floppy and a /mnt/cdrom, as well as other removable media being off
of /mnt. (I also place shared partitions there like /mnt/dos or /mnt/ntfs)

Is there any particular reason why FreeBSD uses /cdrom and a plain /mnt?
Or is it just the way it worked out? :-)
