run "setup" as root, and check the 'sound' section. I have an SB Value64
and that was initially off too. After going through this by hand it worked
fine.

What is in your /etc/fstab.
For floppy and cdrom with me it says:

/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0

Does that match?
