The following is output on the second tty: DEBUG: Init floppy called for install.cfg distribution fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4 fdc0: Re-enable FIFO failed fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 7 failed at out byte 1 of 2 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4 The same occurs if an attempt is made to use a repair floppy. This occurs on more than one Compaq DL360. The floppy drive does not appear to be accessed at all (no seek, or motor spin noticeable). The floppy disk used is an MSDOS format floppy that can be mounted and modifiied on the same computer once the OS has been installed. However as the floppy does not appear to be accessed, any floppy disk gives the above symptoms >How-To-Repeat: On a Compaq DL360 boot from the 4.3 Release, put a floppy disk (any floppy disk will do) and select the "Load Config" option at the sysinstall Main Menu. sysinstall will hang, and the second tty will display the fdc errors. >Fix: None known >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
