Every time it formats and verifies a track I get an error message that says "biodone: buffer already done". This is with the Jan. 15 snapshot and a -current kernel from Jan. 17. Disklabeling it is no problem, but when I newfs the floppy it reports that there is no MBR on the disk. However it still works and I can mount and use the floppy. Typically what I do is the following: fdformat fd0.1440 disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0a fd1440 newfs fd0a mount /dev/fd0a /mnt -- # $Id: dot.signature,v 1.0 1995/01/16 12:08:35 nwestfal Exp $ Neal Westfall nwestfal@csci.csusb.edu FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development #1: Mon Jan 16 11:57:24 1995 root@darkside.csci.csusb.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/DARKSIDE CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) Id = 0x435 Origin = "GenuineIntel"
