Most of my machines have been set up to be able to read and write MSDOS
format 3.5" disks.  Quite a few can only use the 720K format though.  I can
not seem to read these on my machine, running NetBSD.  I saw a BUGS FAQ
for 386bsd that mentions a patch for get 720K 3.5" disks to work for that 
but I could not locate the patch.  Does anyone have a patch for this?
