I am running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and whenever I boot up, it hangs when it
should be mounting the hard drive and all. I presently cannot get to the
point where the system asks me for the cpio floppy.

Apparently the problem is in an infinite loop in wd.c, but I can't seem to
figure out what is going wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated (like
someone who had to hack the bloody thing and can mail it to me)

Thanks!
