Running strace on the boot floppy, the relevant problem seems to be it
failing on an ioctl to the loop device. It tries all 7 devices and each
fails like this:
stat64("/dev/loop/0", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0640, st_rdev=makedev(7,0), ...}) = 0
open("/dev/loop/0", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
iotcl(4, 0x4c05, 0xbffffb9c) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
close(4) = 0
After repeating through to loop/7, it returns to loop/0:
stat64("/dev/loop/0", 0xbffffc84) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
All the loop devices still exist on exit. Weird huh?
