Like I said in another post on this subject, I haven't looked at the
code much. That being said it sounds like there may be a problem in the
HFS driver software. It has never been used with floppy disks before
and I'm pretty sure that HFS treats floppies and hard disks slightly
different. HFS floppies don't have partitions.
