Sorry, I have not yet released the adaptation class which allows you
to attach floppies and zip drives to the GEOM mesh, I'm having a hard
time finding a suitable way to deal with their "come and go" ability.

For now I would use a malloc backed md(4) device and dd(1) the encrypted
image to the floppy after close.

This also reduces a host of shadow write issues which are far more
severe on floppies than on harddisks.
