Hi, folks.  My laptop has a hot-swappable drive bay that accommodates a 
CD-ROM, DVD player, SuperDisk floppy drive, or second battery.  Linux 
recognizes each of these as /dev/hdc.  

Here's my problem... if I have the CD-ROM (or DVD) drive in the bay at 
startup and then put in the floppy drive later, I can't mount it RW because 
hdc definited itself at startup as read-only.  The only way I've found to 
redefine hdc as writeable is to restart linux with the floppy drive in the 
bay.  Is there a better way?
