Yes, that was my motivation. One of my colleagues at work tried to install FreeBSD on a brand new 2U server and he complained FreeBSD cannot be installed on the box while other operating systems have no problem. Of course, I don't like that kind of complaints. ;-) Rev. 1.310 fixes 'hang' and 1.311 fixes 'slow boot' problem. This problem is quite common with newer floppy controller and 'slim' floppy disk drive, it seems. Jung-uk Kim
