System name: pianoforte
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 7.7F (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Write to a floppy disk.
What's wrong:
It always says "cannot open /dev/rdiskette: Device busy". This
occurs whether I use dd or tar directly to the device, or any of the
mtools commands. I thought it was just me, but Tom Krall is reporting
the same error on his sun.
What should have happened:
I should be able to use the drive. Am I supposed to use a
different device? This one worked in 7.6.
