There seems to be no way of doing a   umount   of host devices eg:

mkdir /x
mount /dev/hda2 /x      (does not matter if e2fs or fat partition)
mkdir /a
mount /x/flopimg /a -o loop  (minix file system on 1.44M image)
cd /a
ls     (to look at image directory)
cd /
umount /a    or    umount /dev/hda2
... works ok to here

umount /x    
... returns message that /dev/hda2  is busy even though all files closed 
and directories released.   

Tried   umount /dev/loop0 and umount /dev/loop1 without success prior 
to umount /a  .

Shutdown procedure also fails to  umount /dev/hda2  .  If /dev/hda2 
was written to, then   e2fsck -f   /dev/hda2   is likely to find errors.

I read somewhere that there is a   umount -d  option for this purpose 
but it is not implemented in tomsrtbt (nor is umount -f).

I am using tomsrtbt 2.0.103 from 1.722M floppy exactly as 
downloaded.

Have I missed some special way of umount-ing  /dev/hda2.
