From googling and a look at kernel sources, it looks as if automatic ejection of the boot floppy before loading the root floppy is some kind of sparc kernel magic. To recap: - the RC3 sparc32 root floppy with kernel 2.4.27 ejects automatically - the RC3 sparc32 root floppy with kernel 2.6.8 fails to eject (see installation reports #301086 and #301088) There have been some changes in drivers/block/floppy.c between 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 kernel, but I can't tell if these could be responsible for the difference in behavior. David: do you maybe have some ideas? Cheers, FJP -------------------------------------------------------
