Another 2.3.14p1 buglet, floppy mounting stalls

mounting the floppy stalls the mount process, D state.

the PC is set to all zeros, the WCHAN is wait_on_buf, the signal set
is: ffff ffff fffb faef

popping the floppy out of the drive allows the mount program to fail and
exits cleanly.

strace of the mount program shows the stall in open("/dev/fd0",
O_RDONLY).
