System: NetBSD imlay.mcs.vuw.ac.nz 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (MCS_WORKSTATION) #0: Fri Apr  7 13:09:45 NZST 2000     root@turakirae.mcs.vuw.ac.nz:/src/build/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MCS_WORKSTATION i386


>Description:
	Just upgraded from 1.4S to 1.4X and am now seeing problems with
	the floppy drive.  After mounting a dos floppy and referencing the
	files on it after a short period (minute or so) any process that
	tries to reference the mounted filesystem or the raw floppy
	(/dev/rfd0a) hangs.

>How-To-Repeat:
	With fstab entry:
/dev/fd0a /mnt/floppy msdos rw,noauto,-l

do the following
	mount /mnt/floppy
	ls -l /mnt/floppy
	file /mnt/floppy/*

wait a minute or so

	ls -l /mnt/floppy

ls should hang. Any attempt to look at /mnt/floppy or /dev/rfd0a should hang.
