My RT seems to have a bad drive 2 or controller.  Here are the
messages printed by the kernel:

This is not the first time this has happened.  I have reformatted all
drives; this did not help.  Drive 2 sometimes makes a whine that
sounds like bearings are worn.

Please have someone run diagnostics on this machine, and if possible
replace drive 2 (drive 2 is an IBM 310 MB disk; when I say "drive 2" I
mean the drive in the front of the machine under the floppy drives).

Relevant information:

	Machine name:  achates
	Location:      E40-342, SW corner
	Machine type:  RT 6150
	Serial number: IBM 26-0002036, MIT tag 0233177
	Contact:       John Carr (jfc)

Contact me before doing any work.  I need to shut the machine down; if
a drive needs to be replaced I also have to copy the data.
