I have this problem whenever I try to mount a DOS floppy that doesn't
have a volume name.  Every time I mount one that *does* have a volume
name, it comes up properly with that name.  That much is an
improvement over 2.1, where all DOS disks were called "/DOS".  Still,
the default name *should* be something reasonable.  Looks like an
uninitialized variable to me.
