Hi BSD Guru's,

I mounted the floppy device using the following:

mount -t msdos /dev/fdo /tmp/floppy

The diskette was a dos formatted disk with some ".tgz" files.

when I execute the following command:

cp /tmp/floppy/*.tgz /usr/tmp

I would get the following messages:

fdc0: input ready timeout
fd0c: hard error reading from 288 (No status)

I keep getting this message quite often. Whats the problem ?
