My machine locks up when if I mount or fdformat a floppy on fd0 .
The floppy drive works fine on Win95.
I had this problem on 2.2.7 .
I still have it on 3.0-RELEASE.
The drive light comes on and just stays there. No response from alt-F2.
No response from ctrl-alt-delete.
I have to do a hard reset and clean up the mess.
This is an Award Bios on an AMD-K6 (166).
The boot floppy worked to install FreeBSD.
I cannot even mount it now, or any other floppy.
Any ideas?
