Thanks, it fixes the panic and a quick test of tar'ing to/from the VM's 
floppy works.

It does output "fd0: slice starts beyond end of the disk: rejecting it" 
(4 times) and "fd0: Seek to cyl 0, but not really there (ST3 = 
80<fault>)" messages.

If that can't be helped, I'd say commit it anyways.
