Yes, I did try at the time 9 was current (to make fancy DOS floppies for BIOS for the old machine). I remember I only had an issue with PCMCIA-attached floppy drive (that uses fdc(4) afair), which didn't work then (but I am user I used those long time ago). Maybe the issue you are seeing is similar to my PCMCIA-based floppy problem - I'd be happy to have it fixed for recovery of old boxes. (Will test -current on my ancient box tomorrow) //Marcin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
