Me Too(tm). Actually, it only happened once after I tried to copy a few
files off of a corrupted floppy and tried a different floppy. I see this
in the log:
VFS: Disk change detected on device fd(2,0)
Trying to lock fdc while usage count=0
Trying to lock fdc while usage count=0
floppy0: data CRC error: track 5, head 0, sector 11, size 2

fatfs: bogus cluster size
VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 02:00.
...I believe at the end here I was trying to mount a non-fat-formatted floppy
as -t fat, which obviously failed.
