It identifies the two hard drives, but not the floppy. This is on a Pentium 60 PC, with an adaptec 2840 SCSI card, two SCSI hard drives, two SCSI CD-ROM drives, a SCSI tape drive. The floppy disk drive is a standard 3.5" 1.44 MB Teac floppy. This problem has existed in versions 3.x as well. >How-To-Repeat: Put the boot floppy in the drive, and reboot the PC. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
