Subject:   Crash when removing floppy disk
Message-ID:  <v01530504ae49dde1f458@[192.134.92.34]>

I use FreeBSD Release 2.1.0, and every time i remove a floppy while
the computer is writing to it, the computer crashes (kernel panic
or just hang). I've tried on two different machines (P75+PCI & 486VLB),
it makes no difference.
I know floppy disks shouldn't be removed when used :), but i think
an OS should not crash for stupid things like this.
My linux box at home doesn't crash when i remove a floppy :)
(no flame please)

Is there a way to correct this problem ?
Thanks
