When I boot up the system says: fd0 not found at 0x3f0 Where it used to say fd0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 ... I have no problems using the floppy drives for any other purpose (i.e. DOS) and I suspect a recent change of hardware. I recently switched from an ATI Graphics Ultra Plus to a #9 9GXE level 11. Looking at /var/log/messages, the last time the Floppy was recognized, I had the ATI card in. Since then, I have had 2 different video cards in, including the #9, and fd0 has not come up. I didn't notice the problem with the driver until I tried to use fd0a and the machine froze with a message about a kernel fault. In case it's relevant, I'm running FreeBSD 1.0.2 on a 486/33/ISA w/8 Meg, Adaptec 1542 and a Logitech Bus Mouse. Please respond by mail as this sites news seems flaky at best. derek derek@carroll1.cc.edu
