I'm trying to use a virtual floppy from FreeBSD 7 (both 7-STABLE and
7_2_RELEASE) in a VMWare test installation.
Both running fdformat on a fresh floppy image and trying to mount a
preformatted one, I get errors like:
g_vfs_done():fd0[READ(offset=0, length=8192)]error = 6
Of course, after booting the same VM with a DOS live CD, the floppy is
perfectly functional.
I found a reference in a vmware forum post (some three years old), does
anybody know if this is supposed to work?

Thanks,
