In fact, MS-DOS provide far superior support for floppies than Linux or
FreeBSD or any other Unix I've used.
(Though not as nice as AmigaDOS. I think that Macs were also very clever
about floppies, but I've not used them so much.)
For that matter, most removable media is a pain with the whole mount/umount
paradigm.
But yes, the FreeBSD crash here is stupid.
