>Environment:
Standard PC clone --
                   75MHz Pentium
                   16MB memory
                   3-1/2in floppy drive
                   800MB IDE hard disk
                   3com 3c509 network card
                   ATI Mach 64 2MB graphics card
                   Princeton Ultra 17 monitor

>Description:

	When I could straight to the floppy disk, the machine totally
        freezes after about 5-10 seconds.  Only a cold boot restarts the
        machine.

>How-To-Repeat:

	dd if=large_file bs=40k of=/dev/fd0.1440
        cat large_file >/dev/fd0.1440

>Fix:
	
	??
