Yes, that was my motivation.  One of my colleagues at work tried to 
install FreeBSD on a brand new 2U server and he complained FreeBSD 
cannot be installed on the box while other operating systems have no 
problem.  Of course, I don't like that kind of complaints. ;-)
Rev. 1.310 fixes 'hang' and 1.311 fixes 'slow boot' problem.  This 
problem is quite common with newer floppy controller and 'slim' 
floppy disk drive, it seems.
