[ros-kernel] Removable Media Support is Broken.

[Hartmut Birr]

Hi,

I've fixed some problems of the removable media support. Currently it works
for an atapi zip drive and a floppy drive. Some things are still missing
(purge cache, write through caching, ..). An other problem is the media
change count for floppies. It exist a counter within disk.sys/class2.sys and
in floppy.sys. The counters have different values.
