Perhaps something changed in the DMA driver, such that it is no longer able to handle a request exceeding 65K (which was the hardwired limit of the "original" PC DMA controller). I've long used bs=120b for floppies, and never had a problem. Why 120? # 120*512 = 61440, which is less than 65K. # For both 1.2MB and 1.44MB floppies, 120 sectors is a multiple of the track length. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
