In order to work 100% on non-intel platforms the loader needs to be significantly changed so it can know when you intend to change a floppy so it can close the disk device through SRM. My suggestion so far has been to implement a "changedisk" command in the loader script but I haven't had the chance to implement it yet. So much work, so little time. I may try to get back to it within the next few weeks. -Michael _________________________________________________________________ http://fastmail.ca/ - Fast Free Web Email for Canadians --------------Boundary-00=_NNHA25RCC5GNTT4D7TH0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
