What the hell is
 wdc0 : extra interrupt

This message comes up and the stupid machine hangs, I can't boot, not even 
from floppy, What the hell am I doing wrong, I've changed the floppies, Re-
coppied the raw data onto the floppies, De Nada., nothing seems to make a 
difference, the machine doesn't even try to access the hard drive, it 
accknowledges that it is there , but just hangs with the above message at 
any attempt to access any disk but the boot floppy. Maybe the boot FSK or 
disklabel or nfsk is bomming somebody help, 

Send useful replies soon please I is going out of my tiny mind
