Sorry, I misunderstood you.

I have the same problem for my cdrom. As a heuristic, how about the following:
If fs type is auto and the referenced device node is /dev/fd*, we assume it's 
a floppy. If fs type is auto and the referenced device node is not /dev/fd*, 
we assume it's a cdrom.

Are floppies always mapped to /dev/fd* or are there other valid device nodes? 
How about BSD/Solaris?
