rm of files on floppy causes panic...

This seems rather strange. I've been in the process of making a
"disaster floppy" (on /dev/dsk/f0q15d, mounted as /mnt). This floppy
starts out as a copy of the BOOT floppy (this is all 2.0.2). During
the process, I need to remove some unneeded files to make room for
other things (like a /unix with a tape driver, etc.) However, I'm
finding that sporadically, but frequently, the act of rm'ing a file
on the floppy results in an immediate kernel panic -- type 0xE. This
system is normally rock solid, but I've made very little use of the
floppy except to load new software installations up to now.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.
