Message-Id: <95Dec1.154854pst.177478@crevenia.parc.xerox.com> Date: Fri, 1 Dec 1995 15:48:50 PST Sender: owner-bugs@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I am booting from the 2.1.0-RELEASE boot.flp, as I finally decided to upgrade my 2.0.5 box. My ethernet cards are configured at non-standard addresses (well, I don't think the "standard" addresses are one of the options on the SMC Elite Ultra, but that's beside the point). So I had to boot with /kernel -c, but then got distracted and didn't even watch it finish loading. I just looked over at the PC, and the floppy drive light is on (although the drive isn't still spinning). The kernel is sitting there at the config> prompt, and I can do all I need to, but it's pretty disconcerting to see the drive light still on... Bill
