IMHO, if people are submitting bug reports using ksymoops then
they show know how to read raw data off a floppy. ksymoops could
be enhanced to read the oops data off a floppy. Your patch could
write the magic bytes before the oops so that the floppy does not
have to be re-intialized. I don't see the value in writing to a
FAT filesystem. Simple is good.
