This is one of the reasons that I only ever use MS-DOS-formatted
floppies: there's no need to mount them, and all the mucking
around that that entails. I just use mtools to talk to them.
Perhaps mtools, or a similar toolset that knew how to read and
write off-line FFS filesystems, could be hooked to run as mountable
file system, amd/nfs-style.
