Greetings,

	Is there an easy way to check if there is a floppy
disk in the floppy drive without any error logging barking
at the syslog ?

	For example, if there is no floppy in the fd0, any floppy
I/O will cause the following to be logged:
	
 /kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout
Jan 13 22:16:05  /kernel: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status)
Jan 13 22:16:05  /kernel: fdc0: output ready timeout
Jan 13 22:16:05  /kernel: fdc0: cmd e6 failed at out byte 1 of 9
Jan 13 22:16:06  /kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout
Jan 13 22:16:06  /kernel: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status)
Jan 13 22:16:06  /kernel: fdc0: output ready timeout
Jan 13 22:16:06  /kernel: fdc0: cmd e6 failed at out byte 1 of 9
Jan 13 22:16:06  /kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout
Jan 13 22:16:06  /kernel: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status)
etc
etc

	Thanks.

	Fran
