Hi there!

My NetBSD is 1.4.2/i386. I have a problem: when I try to create CD-image
via dd (dd if=/dev/cd0d of=myfile.iso) I often notice, that dd couldn't
catch end-of-file signal.

So dd is working and working and working. CD's light is on. It can work
and work while there is free space on target drive. 

Besides, when it happens, result file is empty.

It happens in 50%. Sometimes I can get normal CD-image via dd.

Someone had this bug on NetBSD system? I saw such behaviour on
Solaris systems. Linux and Free are OK. 

Thanks for answer.

Sincerelly yours, Kab00m
