Looks like:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 0 1 55360 Aug 1 13:16 /bin/mount*
Should be good. What do the numbers mean(specifically the third one)?

I know whats on the disks as I can see them as root. How would I use
bpe(the man page seems a little vague)?

Floppy not in:
mount /aext2
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
Floppy in:
mount /aext2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0 or too
many mounted file systems.
Changed permissions to:
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 29 1995 sda
brw-rw-rw- 1 root floppy 2, 0 May 14 1996 fd0
Didn't seem to help.
I am the only user of this machine but I would like to stay away from
using the root account if it is not neccessary. I can access the cdrom
through workbone(shell cd player).
PS. I am using Slackware 7.
