On my machine the boot time probes show: > wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa > wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM P80A 980-80-94xx> > wd0: 80MB (164050 sectors), 965 cyls, 10 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S The first time I try to use wd0 (eg, using dd if=/dev/wd0 of=/dev/null) I get a pause and then: > wd0: wdcontrol: wdcommand failed reading fsbn 0wd0: status ff<busy,rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,drq,ecc_cor,index,err> error 0 There seems to be two problems here: 1) Shouldn't this message be split over two lines? and, more importantly, 2) What is causing it? This machine is primarily an MS DOS machine; this drive is it's C:, and MS DOS has no problems with it. I boot FreeBSD diskless off another machine. It's running -CURRENT (delta 1174) though I have had this problem ever since I started playing with -CURRENT about 2 months ago. Does anyone have any pointers?
