Uh...  Why not just use mtools?  I can't remember the last time I've actually
mounted a floppy.  I've *never* mounted a floppy except those I've put an ext2
filesystem on for some reason.

Occasionally the two step (save to hard-disk/nfs/coda/whatever, then mcopy to
floppy) is a minor annoyance, but compared to automounting a floppy I wouldn't
think it'd be too bad.
