Don't assume "nobody does..." There is always someone that do.
This particular one will easily come up for anybody who
develop boot floppies:
1. Mount the boot floppy at /mnt
2. Test the device files in /mnt/dev, _perhaps by using them
in every way imaginable_
3. Umount the boot floppy. - There goes /mnt/dev and a bunch
of block devices.
Umounting some dev/ is common enough.
