The discussion on /etc/fstab in the install manual seems a bit scanty, but one area that I see as a particular issue is support for removeable media.

The assumption seems to be that the system being installed just has a plain CD drive.  These days however, many (most?) users will have more powerful drives than that, either DVD drives or CD / DVD burners.  It would be helpful if you could give suggested lines for the different types of removeable media, or at least comment on them.

Looking at the sample file, it wouldn't hurt to put something in for floppies either.

I realize the purpose isn't to reproduce the fstab man page, but a bit more data wouldn't hurt.
