>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	Diskless FreeBSD-3.0-CURRENT kernel, with in-kernel BOOTP support.
	fbsdboot.exe used to boot kernel.
        Kernel configured without floppy driver.

>Description:

	The floppy drive does not stop spinning after booting
	a FreeBSD kernel from a floppy using fbsdboot.exe.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Use fbsdboot.exe to boot a kernel from floppy that does not
	contain a floppy driver.

>Fix:
	
	Add a delay in fbsdboot.exe before starting the kernel.

Workaround:
	
	Configure kernel with floppy driver.
