I got this behavior while the floppy tape (ft) driver was in my
kernel.  The probe would scrozzle up the floppy drive and the BIOS
would complain on the next reboot, but reset it to the default.  One
way to test this without building a new kernel is to boot with the `-c'
option and type `disable fdc0' at the config prompt.
