2.0.0: strange floppy behavior

After saying 'df' on a mounted msdos-floppy (that no longer was in)
something went very wrong.. 70k syslog within some seconds :-)

it ended after inserting another floppy:

[* times the same deleted]
02:00: rw=0, want=5, limit=2
bread in fat_access failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
02:00: rw=0, want=5, limit=2
bread in fat_access failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
02:00: rw=0, want=5, limit=2
bread in fat_access failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
02:00: rw=0, want=5, limit=2
bread in fat_access failed
VFS: Disk change detected on device 02:00
VFS: Mounted device 02:00 - tssk, tssk
VFS: inode busy on removed device 02:00
floppy0: data CRC error: track 0, head 0, sector 5, size 2
floppy0: data CRC error: track 0, head 0, sector 5, size 2
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 4

Is this correct? Sure, it isn't ok to remove a mounted floppy, but
being spammed with kernelmessages isn't nice, too :-) Looks like it
tried to read the fat infinitely.
