The updated boot.flp from 2.0.5R can't detect my DTC 5287 RLL
controller with Seagate ST251-1 harddisk.  It says that "wdc0
at 0x1f0 not found".  The harddisk is accessible under DOS.
I can boot NetBSD 0.9 from another old harddisk using the same RLL
controller card.  Replacing the card with DTC 7280 MFM controller,
the boot.flp then can detect wdc0 and the ST251 harddisk.  I wonder
if FreeBSD still supports RLL disk system?
