FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE

>Description:

FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE freezes when you are writing to a floppy disk
drive when there is no floppy inserted. I have heard that it also
makes problems when an inserted disk is write protected.

>How-To-Repeat:

1. remove the floppy
2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 bs=64k

>Fix:
	
With the help of Mike Smith I think I tracked it down a little bit.
(Was my first experience with DDB). This is part of the output of
the trace command in DDB:

...

reassignbuf
bdirty

spec_strategy
