A system with the via 82c586 chipset, amd k5 pr133,
CL-5446 video, and elnk3 (3c509b) is hanging at
PBS... with the floppy reading back and forth non stop.
Are there any known issues with this via chipset?
I even tried swapping floppy drives, with no luck.

I believe that the floppy driver in newer versions of Plan 9 has
problems whose nature is beyond my ability to unravel.

If you can install without the floppy (I've never tried), I would
suggest running a kernel without the floppy driver.
Feedback proving or disproving my theory is welcome.

Odd, I downloaded the floppy again, wrote a couple of floppies,
a couple of times. One of them finally worked. Unfortunately,
I can't say if it was the floppy drive on the computer, the drive
on the windows box I wrote the disks with, or the disks themselves.
Oh well, Glenda is smiling on me now, so.
