[Sunhelp] dd: ... open: Device busy

I was about to try to install linux on my SS20 again, and figured that
perhaps my PC wasn't creating the floppy just the way that the sun wanted
it, so I'd try to create the boot diskette from the sun.  When I try running
a command like 'dd if=ramdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k' it complains that
the device is busy.  I've checked, and it's not mounted anywhere, but I
still can't make it write to the floppy.  What am I missing?  Thanks,
	Greg
