X-Priority: 2 (High) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello dear people, Please remember, now you are my last hope ! I am sorry for my mistakes. I can't do image with my floppy disk ! Now I'll explain you a problem, first time (3 days ago) I wanted to set kernel to floppy, so I typed: "cat /kernel > /dev/fd0" - it worked well ! But I don't wanted to wait for the end of this operation and I pressed CTRL-z or (CTRL-c), cat was killed. After one minute I wanted to copy another file, and I typed that command one more time and I being seeing the message: "cat: stdout: Invalid argument", with "dd" I'm getting: "dd: stdout: Invalid argument"! But I can mount my floppy, format it, make files on it! It works fine ! I can't only do any work with /dev/fd0, or any other floppy device file, for example /dev/fd0.1440, etc. I think (I'm not sure) that it locked in kernel !? Because when I trying that command: "cat file > /dev/fd0", I haven't saw any floppy sound, it was like dead! I think it's in the kernel... May be not completed work? I don't know, but I want to work with it, I need it very much !!! You are my last hope, please help !?
