That sounds like a pclos problem, not wine - ask on their forums.

My copy of Fedora does that too - man fstab explains all.

On a modern UDEV-based kernel automounted devices show up in /etc/mtab.
I've checked this with a flash device but can't with a floppy. My only
PC with a floppy drive, which I don't think I've ever used, seems to
have a stuffed floppy drive. It won't automount and won't manually mount
DOS floppy disks, "mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt", as either vfat or msdos
filing systems.

Try /dev/fd0 for the floppy - that works for me - at least the drive
switches on and tries to read the floppy even if it can't read it.

Fedora uses /dev/sr0 for the first CD drive, filing system type iso9660
for a CD and mounts it as /media/VOLNAME where VOLNAME is the CD volume
label.
