Hi. Ran into another strangeness with my install of FreeBSD 2.0.5
When trying to do a "dd if=root20.flp of=/dev/fd0a" the screens lock
up (no kbd input, black screen, cannot switch between virtual consoels)
and the only out is to reboot.
Before I get flamed, I know the install says "of=/dev/rfd0".
I forgot one time and types "fd0a".
My comment (and implied question) is "this is a strange, any
ideas why this happens".
