Look - I have to ask you, is the floppy drive letter supposed to be assigned to
the /mnt/floppy path or to the /dev/fd0 path?  Because it only seems to work
for me against /media/floppy (i.e. the file systems, and it isn't working even
on openSUSE or an older Ubuntu before they broke mount for floppy.  Assuming I
am mounting the floppy letter correctly, how does WINE know the correct raw
device path (does it look up the Linux mount?)?  

The only thing a little odd that I am doing is the assignment of the machine's
single floppy to drive B:.  Of course, I could assign it to any letter (even F:
if I wanted).  If wine is hardcoded assuming A: is fd0 and B: is fd1, that
might explain it.  I will try it again soon using A:, but in any case, I don't
think this is a permissions issue because I can use DD to read the boot sector
on /dev/fd0 just fine.
