I did.  It doesn't say anything about not being able to mount a floppy.
Since I can mount CD-ROMs, I figured I could mount a floppy, but perhaps

I'll have to try it with securelevel set lower when I get a chance.  As
it is, I managed to create the floppy I needed on Windows, so the
problem is no longer pressing.
