i just experienced similar problems with 5.4 from sunday (17. april). but cant tell when it started, since its been a while that i used a floppy. i can fdformat without problems, but i can only read or write the first 18kb, and then a i/o error occurs. dmesg shows nothing. its not a hardware problem, since it works with 4.11 and win2k and the same floppy disk. machine is a dell inspiron 8000. etienne _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
