Well it happens the disk not being inserted, it gave this (from log): 'Nov 29 12:38:08 skumle /kernel: fd0: Operation timeout Nov 29 12:38:09 skumle /kernel: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status)' so I pop in the disk that was not inserted at first. I type 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt' hit enter. Nothing happens first (no green floppy light on) it seems it is rebooting. It is rebooting, hrm. Here is some info from /var/log/messages 'Nov 29 12:37:48 skumle login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv1' standard or usual entries in log removed 'Nov 29 12:38:08 skumle /kernel: fd0: Operation timeout Nov 29 12:38:09 skumle /kernel: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status) Nov 29 12:39:51 skumle /kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc.' snip 'Nov 29 12:39:52 skumle /kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted' >How-To-Repeat: 1. Process: cron,sh,sh,init,csh,csh,csh,csh,csh,adjkerntz,getty,getty,rc5des. 2. See Full Description. I type more .history - nothing there seem to differ from my memory, it does not log any command of mount - last entry: su (this might be just before running mount) 3. It rebooted seconds after typing "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt" and then pressing enter. I could not see anything on screen after typing the mount command and pressing enter (again - now with disk inserted) - I am not sure I can repeat the problem like I write.. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
