Bug 15961

Summary: System allows no keyboard input after floppy drive error
Product: Base System Reporter: Klaus-Juergen Wolf <kjwolf>
Component: i386Assignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description Klaus-Juergen Wolf 2000-01-07 11:20:01 UTC 
After erroneously having mounted a write-protected floppy without -r
option (i.e. read-writable), a write attempt on the floppy results in
the system ignoring keyboard input (w/o any further I/O activity), even
Ctrl-Alt-Del (as explicitly allowed in the kernel config). The system
didn't appear to hang as a whole; one could switch between the virtual
consoles.

Error messages:

Jan  7 11:57:24 solling /kernel: fd0c: hard error writing fsbn 284 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 2<write_protect> ST2 0 cyl 7 hd 1 sec 15)

Fix: 

Unknown.
How-To-Repeat: 
Mount a write protected floppy writable and write on it.

Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, 
such as 4.3-RELEASE?
