Hi there, I'm reporting a problem with 2.2.1-RELEASE; Had problems with system hanging while reading/writing from /dev/fd0. Specifically, if I'm using mtools or "tar"ing to /dev/fd0, and I try to change virtual terminals while the floppy is in use, my system hangs. This doesn't (seem to) happen when copying (cp) to a mounted /dev/fd0. It seems as if programs reading directly to /dev/fd0 without a specific 'mount' (mtools, tar) will make the system hang if you attempt to change to a different VT while the floppy is in use. I guess I can't be more specific - this has been happening a lot with mtools, though. This is with the standard FreeBSD virtual terminal driver.
