Can't you pretty much skip the disklabel on the floppys? It seems to me that
floppy disks aren't going to vary as much as SCSI disks. Why not just format
the disk and then just heap the filesystem onto the floppy like it's one
big partition?

Am I mistaken or is this the way most Unices handle floppies?

BTW, what kind of ioctls can we expect for a floppy, if I might be so bold?
We'll have to start porting hfsutils :)
