I had a similar problem when I first got Executor... If you try Executor 
-debug all tells you something like error mounting drive...  Anyway, if 
you use the -macdrives -dosdrives and -skipdrives parameters, putting the 
floppy in -skipdrives... This resolved the problem for me without waiting 
4 or 5 minutes.
