The problem is that the mount table returns these automatic /cygdrive
mounts.  If there's a drive a available, a /cygdrive/a mount is returned.
df checks all drives with statfs (or whatever), which results in
accessing all drives mentioned in the moun table.  Accessing a floppy
drive always results in the "is a floppy in the drive" check in Windows.
