I'm trying to use a virtual floppy from FreeBSD 7 (both 7-STABLE and 7_2_RELEASE) in a VMWare test installation.

Both running fdformat on a fresh floppy image and trying to mount a preformatted one, I get errors like:

   g_vfs_done():fd0[READ(offset=0, length=8192)]error = 6

Of course, after booting the same VM with a DOS live CD, the floppy is perfectly functional.

I found a reference in a vmware forum post (some three years old), does anybody know if this is supposed to work?

Thanks,
Angelo
