Hi,
today I tried to use some 720k DD floppies with NetBSD 1.5.2 on i386
and to my surprise I could not fdformat _any_ of them (/dev/fd0f)
without getting track format errors.
Even formatting them with a different OS and simply using them did not
work:
/netbsd: fd0: timeout (st0 2 cyl 4)
/netbsd: fd0f: soft error (corrected) writing fsbn 984 of 984-985
/netbsd: fdcresult: overrun
Can anyone confirm this problem with 720K floppies ? I could not find
an existing problem report about it.
ciao
Klaus
