Probably I'm missing some context here. On being stabbed with a bent
piece of wire, the machine pukes the diskette; but messages such as
/dev/fd0: Device or resource busy
occur when I try to do anything with the drive. There is empty input
from `fuser /floppy' and `fuser /dev/fd0', and I don't see any
suspects from `ls -R /var' or `ps ax'.
