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? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
