Before removing the floppy, be sure to unmount it: umount /floppy or
umount /dev/fd0.  Then it's OK to remove it.  You have to re-mount it
after you change disks or a floppy is reinserted.  Before changing disks
or removing them, unmount them first with umount.

I would assume it's because mount_msdos expects FAT16 but is getting FAT32
(Windows 95 isn't FAT16).

Windows 95 is a FAT32 filesystem and regular dos is FAT16.
mount_msdos only handles FAT16.

I get this message sometimes, too.  But everything compiles / installs /
runs OK.  Probably something minor and nothing to worry about.
