486/33 16MB, AH1542A (!) 2GB Seagate, 660 MB CDC Wren6, DAT Tape TLZ04 (DEC),
5.25", 3.5" FD, XFree86 server running. Two xterms open.

386bsd + 0.2.3 + 0.2.4  (BTW, how do we write that in the future - just as long
386bsd-0.2 isn't out yet ? :-)  386bsd-0.2.4 ?

Booted with fd inserted - folks, is this quirk still in the floppy code, that
when you boot a system with floppy inserted and door open, afterwards the floppy is not  recognized by the autoconfigure code?.  I had this fixed with an extra long DELAY in fd_probe, I also posted it last year in October but why do my posts not find their way into the patchkits? Is there a special way you have to post fixes? bugfiler?
GNATS?

Anyway, once again, I inadvertently left a disk in the 5.25 drive, booted, the
disk was not recognized. Later - meanwhile forgotten about that fact - I
wanted to access the drive (either mount or tar - don't remember) - SOFT RESET, black screen, reboot, no panic message, just as if someone has hit the reset button.
