OK, here's the story.

If you insert a floppy and DO NOT RUN "volcheck", then
"eject fd" will eject the floppy and "eject floppy" will not.

Threfore, it seems that "eject fd" is to be recommended over "eject
floppy" as it's a more generic solution.

Also, "volmissing -p" seems to try to connect to "hostname:0" rather
than ":0".
