Hang or panic - which difference? One result - reboot :-(

Why I should worried about read-only flag? Even if I mount read-only floppy 
without '-r', why it produce kernel panic?? Why it can't simply said me 
"yourself stupid"? It can't check read-only flag and "read-only" windows on 
floppy? I'd like insert floppies in drive without worry about it's "read-only 
window" position. Even WinDoze can do it :-(
