Running a kernel built as of this morning from -current, I can no longer format floppies - I get a cascade of kernel warning messages: jkh@time-> fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 18 of 16-19 (ST0 44<abnrml,top_head> ST1 4<sec_not_fnd> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 1 sec 1) fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 18 of 16-19 (ST0 44<abnrml,top_head> ST1 4<sec_not_fnd> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 1 sec 1) ... And so on. I can take the exact same floppy over to my 2.1.6 box and format it there, so I'm positive it's not a bad floppy (that's what I first thought too until the 10th one I tried proved "bad" and I started doing some comparison testing). This could the floppy driver, it could be something it depends on, I dunno! Jordan
