thanks for all the help fixing my mount problems. All is well now. I just 
ran umount a couple of times alternating between the device and the mount 
point, and it seems to have cleaned itself up.

I got into this mess by trying to do a simple (at least I think ) thing.

I want to make a boot/root floppy(s) that I can take to a MS pc and boot up 
and run a minimally functioning Linux, with a small filesystem that I can 
put a tiny program on.

I mean really minimally functioning. All I want to do is change the system 
clock and run a tiny program to test some y2k code changes.

I've read the Bootdisk-HOWTO, which I was following when I screwed up. Seems 
to me there must be an easier way?
