While the QIC interfaced streamer tape is doing the heavy tar work  by
% tar cvfb /dev/rwt0 4 files ....

I cannot read or write the 3.5" floppy drive (a:) 
is found.
The console messages appeares.

Jan 16 15:17:40 ps486 /386bsd: fd0: hard error (ST0 40 ST1 10 ST2 0 
cyl 0 hd 3 sec 2)

The fd drives are from ISA interface card.
The tape drive is from QIC(?) interface card.

Ofcourse, if when I do not writting the tape,
the fd is read/write well.
