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 ST1 1 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 -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 ( Job ) jonny@coppe.ufrj.br M.Sc.
