My kernel config uses irq 6 for fdc0. Did you change this for a reason, or was this the default setting?

A bad ribbon cable can also cause problems. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
