Saturday Morning, I installed the 2.0-RELEASE bindist and some source 
modules on my second hard drive. It has 122 Megs or so, depending on the 
program that is looking at the drive.

Currently, I have two hard drives, which I change back and forth, 
depending on whether or not I want to boot with MS-DOS/LINUX or FreeBSD.

Saturday and Sunday, I used the following command:

/stand/mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

and was able to read and copy files from several MS-DOS formatted disks.

Yesterday, Monday, I tried to use the same command on the same disks, and 
received the error message:

fd0c: Hard error reading fsbn 0 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 1<no-am> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd
sec 1)
mount: msdos: Input/output error

I tried again this morning with newly-formatted floppy disks, the 
previous crop, and still have received the same message.

I reinstalled the system by booting from the floppy drive, and then the 
command worked. Twice. Then I started getting the same error message again.

What gives? What do I have to change/modify?
