so, i copied some files on to a msdosfs floppy, and then did "eject fd",
and got greeted with one of these:

fd0: timeout: state 7
fdc: spurious interrupt: state 8, istate=3

about every 2 or so, until i rebooted the machine.  so, after i rebooted,
i tried to remount /msdos, and got the same errors, and i can reliably
do the same.

oh, this is great, i can't even forcibly eject the cd...
