Strange dd error
As of late I have been getting a strange dd error when trying to write
stuff to my floppy drive. The command is
dd if=memtest86.bin of=/dev/fd0
and I get an output of
dd: writing to `/dev/fd0': Input/output error
9+0 records in
8+0 records out
I try using it on normal files and it seems to work just fine. I was
wondering if this was something going wrong with my hardware, kernel, or
dd. It has been happening over several kernels(and I no longer have the
kernel that I last remember using this successfully on). I am currently
running debian sid on 2.4.20-pre1-ac1. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
