Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I just recently installed freebsd 4.0 snap from 19990304. I was able to use mtools package here... Then I cvsup'd 4.0 current. made world twice..since egcs is used now... No problems in compilation... Great... However, now I am trying to copy a file from the A drive. just tried to look at the drive first... > mdir There is activity for a bit, the light comes on, then nothing.... I wait... KERNEL PANIC and REBOOT. If I pull the disk out before I get these errors.. >mdir fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status) plain_io: Input/output error init A: could not read boot sector Cannot initialize 'A:' I then put the same floppy disk in my other computer running pre-egcs 4.0 current, and it works. What's wrong...I will try to send my dmesg output if really needed...however it will take time..since I have not completely set the new computer up. It's a dual pentiumII 450 processors 512 RAM.
