Some floppy writing programs probably require padding (at least to a
floppy track boundary) anyway, and we weren't doing that either.
In any case, it's seems like a trivial issue to worry about an extra
20 seconds in writing the last floppy when it takes so long to boot
from the damn things anyway.
