I would expect that since /dev/fd0 is a reference to the floppy device 
on a normal system and resides on a hard drive, the same would apply in 
this situation.  What does it matter what the bootable media is, hard 
drive, floppy or cd?

So, my guess is, you would be opening the real floopy disk.  Let me know 
if I'm wrong?

By the way, you'd be better off replacing that floopy disk with a floppy 
disk. :)

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
