Hey Mark:

Did you ever figure out this issue?  I think I'm hitting it on these
older Appro Opteron servers.  They have no floppies but SystemImager
essentially stalls for ~4-5 minutes doing the "I/O error, dev fd0" loop.

This was tested with the latest trunk, so I know it's still not "fixed"
:-)

Thanks,

Bernard
