Disks for mounted file systems ... but the floppy disk was not mounted.

I wasn't trying to open the diskette for writing. Even a read-only attempt to mount the diskette failed. If securelevel=3 prohibits mounting floppy disks, then the documentation should say something like "floppy disks cannot be mounted at this level." -- Anthony
