All floppies are mounted both ways until something succeeds, just in case you might have put the files on DOS. Probably not apropos for the fixit case but the same floppy reading code is standard across all of sysinstall and in other cases it does make sense. In any case, that's not the error that's really messing things up. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
