I sent mail to BSDI support about it, mainly suggesting that they redirect error output to another vc, as aside from being annoying, I can't see any signs of it causing any problems. I think it's just a slight bug in the chip they're using for the onboard floppy controller. Someone told me ASUS had a similar problem with another floppy controller chip late last year. That chip worked fine in DOS and Windows, but crashed OS/2. This isn't the same chip though, I checked. -- John Henders
