>Description:
	Ejecting floppy disk for empty floppy drive makes the process locked
	until an disk will be inserted the drive.

	Note that there's no such problem with CD-ROM drive.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Do "eject floppy" twice and see.

>Fix:
	Sorry, I don't know.  Maybe we should check the existanse of the floppy
	first?
