On FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, when I run 'dd if=./image.dd of=/dev/da' i get the following: dd: /dev/da0: Device busy 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 2.xxx secs (0 bytes/sec) This is as root with rw permissions on /dev/da0. And the floppy is not mounted. Reading geom(4) mentions that this kind of thing can happen, but there is no solution. I tried setting the foot shooting debug through sysctl, and it still doesn't work. What do I have to do to be able to do a dd of a floppy image onto a USB floppy? Thanks, Joel
