I have problems with the floppy disk drive on a newly
installed PC FreeBsd UNIX (the installation program
did a great job, everything seems to be working, except...)
When I boot the PC, there is a message telling me that
my floppy disk drive is not correctly configured. So I
change the System Setup, but that solves nothing (I think
that actually, the settings are correct).
I have installed the bindinst files, and the man pages,
and now, when I try to install other things (using the
bininst program), the program refuses to read the floppy.
I also did lsdev, and Unix told me that fd0 was my floppy
disk drive.
So I put the boot floppy into the drive, and did:
disklabel -r fd0
It answered:
fd0c:hard error reading fsbn0 of 0-15
STO40 <abnrml> ST1 <no_am> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1
disklabel : /dev/rfdc0: Input/output error
Now I don't know what else I can do. I would appreciate any
help, not to technical, because I'm pretty new to
that UNIX thing.
Thanks for replying something!
