(this is yoav)..
this machine seems to have problems with the floppy drive using the nfsbt
kernel.
trying to mount, disklabel, newfs, or dd to /dev/fd0a or rfd0a always
results in :
05:08 fd0a: hard error reading fsbn 1 (st0 0 st1 0 st2 0 cyl 0 head 18 sec 1)
05:08 fd0: timeout (st0 80<invld> cyl 0)
05:08 fd0: timeout (st0 80<invld> cyl 0)
05:08 fd0a: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-3 (st0 80<invld> st1 0 st2 0 cyl 27 head 27 sec 1)
05:08 fd0: timeout (st0 80<invld> cyl 0)
05:08 fd0a: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-3 (st0 42<abnrml> st1 1<no_am> st2 0 cyl 27 head 27 sec 1)
05:08 fd0: timeout (st0 80<invld> cyl 0)
05:08 fd0: timeout (st0 80<invld> cyl 0)
05:08 fd0a: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-3 (st0 42<abnrml> st1 1<no_am> st2 0 cyl 2 head 2 sec 1)
etc...
this is not a bad floppy (others have been tried), and the drive itself
works fine from other OS's (in fact, it was used to boot up the original
netbsd install disk).
any ideas?
thanks
