Subject:   Errors when trying to read from floppy drive
Message-ID:  <199708080438.AAA00308@localhost>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Please help.  I have just recently installed FreeBSD v2.2.2 from the Walnut
Creek CDROM.  I am now trying to install some other software that I have on
floppy.  

Everytime I try to access the floppy drives, I see these error messages:
  /kernel: isa_dmastart: channel 2 busy
  /kernel: isa_dmastart: channel 2 busy
  /kernel: fd0: Operation timeout
  /kernel: fd0: Operation timeout

When the system boots, it correctly identifies my floppy drive.  Further, I
see the drive light come on and I hear it spin.  What have I missed?

I checked the FAQ, but didn't see anything listed.  I also checked the mail
archives.
