This is what uname on my system puts out (broken up to fit 80 columns): FreeBSD murkwood.gaffaneys.com 2.2-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #0: Mon Aug 25 03:01:54 CDT 1997 zach@murkwood.gaffaneys.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/ZACH i386 This is the system that couldn't unmount the floppy. -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) -- Actually it's all quite simple.
