The following reply was made to PR bin/5663; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Berend de Boer <berend@pobox.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, jlusa@compuserve.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/5663: fdimage fails: sector not found Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 21:40:48 +0200 Have same problem here. It's 100% repeatable. Hardware: Adaptec UW SCSI card, 4GB Ultra Wide IBM SCSI Disc, Intel 440LX motherboard. What happens: 1. makeflp formats floppy fine. 2. However when writing image file it gives 'sector not found.' 3. Floppy is complete unusable afterwards and needs to be reformatted. Things tried: 1. Tried a few floppies. All behave the same. 2. Swapped floppy drive, didn't help. 3. Download newest Intel BIOS, didn't help. Finally I ran makeflop on an NT machine and booted the new machine with that floppy. I'm trying to install FreeBSD on it right now. -- Groetjes, Berend.
