PACKAGE:  0.93R6

This one probably requires kernel hacking to fix.

I had a root disk crc error while doing a 0.93R6 install.
I was prompted to insert a good root disk and press return
I just pressed return, to retry the same root disk.
The system mounted the root floppy (not ramdisk) on / and continued.

To duplicate this, open the drive door while the root disk is loading
to ram disk.
