To use a Mac disk under Executor, just run Executor, place the floppy
in the drive, and choose "check for disks" from the appropriate
Browser menu.  leftalt-shift-2 does the same thing.  Be sure to use
the "eject disk" menu item when you are done with a disk.

You don't need to mount the floppy as you normally would under Linux
to access DOS files (etc).  You want nothing mounted on /dev/fd0 when
you run Executor, or else Executor might have trouble accessing Mac
floppies.
