from umount -f /mnt/floppy get:
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /dev/fd0: not mounted
umount: /mnt/floppy: Illegal seek
and from umount -l I get:
umount: invalid option -- l
Usage: umount [-hV]
umount -a [-f] [-r] [-n] [-v] [-t vfstypes] [-O opts]
umount [-f] [-r] [-n] [-v] special | node...
