i'm having problems with my floppy drive on the IPX:

elisha ~> dd if=/dev/rfd0a bs=1440k of=/dev/null
dd: /dev/rfd0a: Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 4 secs (0 bytes/sec)

and i get a message:

Jan  9 21:57:29 elisha /netbsd: fd0a: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-127 (st0 40<abnrml> st1 1<no_am> st2 0 cyl 0 head 0 sec 1)

the "0-127" bit varies from time to time.  i've seen just 0, and 0-3 and
0-7 (i think).

pk, any ideas?
