Yet more 4.0 issues. (mtools-3.0-3)

On two 4.0 boxes, I am unable to use mtools to read a floppy. The
floppy is a know good floppy the drive is working. This is proven
by mounting the floppy via

	mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mtn/floppy

all operations work properly.

But mdir a: fails with:

	Bad FAT for drive A, trying secondary copy
	Could not read FAT for A
	Cannot initialize 'A:'

Any clues?
