I have merely one simple question for you all and that is this: One of my machines has a motherboard with and Intel 815 chipset. Well, after installing the 5.x series (5.1, 5.2), you cannot mount a floppy. It gives you Input/Output errors. However, in the 4.x series (4.8, 4.9), I don't seem to have this problem. Is there any way to make this work in the 5.x series? Or better yet... will this be fixed before 5.x becomes "STABLE"? Thank you for FreeBSD, Dave dshort@raider.crsc.k12.ar.us
