Hi,

  Maybe this also true for current, but why does -stable's LINT has an
FDSEEKWAIT option that is not used anywhere ?  I found the XXX remark
strange and gone search for it to find out that the only place in /sys
where a FDSEEKWAIT word exists is in LINT config file.  Time to remove
this option from LINT to avoid misinformaton ?

  I went through this because I have a floppy that works under DOS
but not under FreeBSD, giving me this error:

fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 1<no_am> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1)

  It's not a floppy fault because I used the same floppy at DOS testing,
and read and wrote from it without problems.  I'm still searching for
the problem (right now compiling a new kernel with FDC_DEBUG), but if
somebody could send me in the right direction I would love.

  The dmesg messages at boot are:

fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in

  Thanks in advance,

					Jonny
