mtools was actually my first attempt at accessing the floppy drive. Exactly the same end result. I issued 'mdir a:' and after a few seconds I was watching my system reboot. After doing that twice with mdir, I uninstalled mtools thinking it was the problem. When I saw mount_msdosfs gave me the same result, I began to suspect something more basic to be at fault.
