It doesn't? Then why can I slap my boot floppy in the drive, type,

# mount /dev/fd0c /mnt/floppy

and then, 

# ls -l /mnt/floppy
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel        0 Jul 24  1998 boot.config
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     1030 Jul 24  1998 boot.help
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1303656 Jul 24  1998 kernel
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel        0 Jul 24  1998 kernel.config

Did I mislabel my disk? I'm 99% sure it's the right one... but I'm not
gonna restart my system to check it. ;)

(BTW, it's Super Bowl weekend in the US and I won't be answering mail
for the rest of the weekend. Go NFC!)
