Subject: 1.3/i386 does not boot from floppy

Hello.

The NetBSD-1.3/i386 boot floppy does not boot on my
IBM Intellistation.  It has dual Pentium (R) Pro processors
at 200MHz, 512M ram, Matrox Millenium video, and fails with
either an Adaptec 1540 ISA SCSI controller or using the
built-in IDE controller.

The boot sequence gets as far as probing fd0 before it hangs.

What could cause this problem?

NetBSD-i386/1.2G seems to work fine.

Please reply to ckane at best.com or followup to this list.
