There are two parts to this question. First, whether it's a file-system device.
Second, whether it's currently mounted. The second is easy... you can just
set your pr_windowptr to -1 and try to access it. To see if it's a file
system device is a bit harder. You can try doing a getdiskinfo on it.

Or you can traverse the device list and kill two birds with one stone. Let
me dig up the code...

Bummer. That disk has an error. I'll run disksalv on it while I read news and
let you know what comes out. (let's see you do *that* on a Mac!)
