Problem:

  Can you tell me why the following:
   
     /etc/mount /dev/dsk/F0d0s1 /floppy
       
  gives the following error:

     device busy.

  The floppy disk can be involed and be used with DPCE DOS disks but
  does not mount on the UNIX side.

Background:

  This machine is an Apollo DM2500 workstation with a 5.25" floppy 
  (SCSI ID: 4:0), a tape backup (SCSI ID: 0:0) and a Winchester
  (SCSI ID:  6:0).  It's running SR10.2., Sys 5, rel 3.
