- With NetBSD-1.5.2 in a SPARCstation 2 it hangs for a while but the machine
- is still responsive to other processes and it times out after a few
- seconds with an error. 'eject /dev/fd0a' with an empty drive behaves in
- the same manner. Reasonable behavior I think.

	I just tried ``eject floppy'' on a SPARCclassic running
1.5.3_RC2, and perceived a small hang, followed by ``fd0:  no medium?''
on the console.  Same results when trying ``eject /dev/fd0a''.

	No hangs, so I'd say everything is now reasonable.
