This problem does NOT exist in FreeBSD 4.11. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Install MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 on a machine. 2. Create a new Virtual Machine, and accept the defaults for the configuration. 3. Install FreeBSD in the virtual machine. Accept the defaults during install. 4. Once the system boots, the messages will appear during boot time, and the floppy will not be mountable or otherwise accessible. >Fix: Solution not known exactly, other than to say that FreeBSD 4.11 does not exhibit this behavior when running on MS Virtual Server 2005 R2. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
