 The results are different under STABLE.  Writing to a floppy mounted
 read-only fails as expected, but a subsequent umount attempt panics the
 box:
 
 fd0c: hard error writing fsbn 5 of 5-12 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 2<write_protect> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 6)
 [several of these messages repeated]
 panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs
