I've been having bad troubles with the FDD on my Sparc IPX. Well, I booted the 2.2.14 a.out kernel from the new testing run of install disks, and after a fresh install with the old 2.2.1-based Slink disks I can access the FDD. I slipped a floppy in and could cat it without any trouble. Then I installed `fdutils' from potato. Accessing the same disk yields
|floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 1, size 2 |floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 1, size 2 |end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 |cat: /dev/fd0: Input/output error and of course superformat isn't working. Still, it's working better than it was. is there something besides superformat I can use on the Sparc, or do I just have a funky machine?
