URGENT: strange floppy behaviour
Hi,
I tried to mount my floppy, the mount failed. I had to press CTRL-C
a number of times to get apropmpt
and got the following messages in syslog

What is going on ? PLease help !!
It might help to note that I have installed a second HD between the last
time I used the flopy and now. However the floppy gets acessed because
the light goes on...
Thanks
George
