>Description:
I formated a floppy with 6.1 using:
   fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fd0
   bsdlabel -B -r -w /dev/fd0 fd1440
   newfs /dev/fd0

I was using the floppy to transfer a few critical files from a crashed 4.11 system to my 6.1 desktop. I removed the floppy from the 4.11 server forgetting to umount. When I took it to the server and did the umount, I then could use the floppy. Making the same mistake on 6.1 caused a reboot. I then reformated a floppy on 6.1 using the aobve commands. Removing the floppy without a umount caused:

>How-To-Repeat:
My hardware is a Dell PE 800. Nothing special was required to repeat this. 
>Fix:
Sorry no dump was taken. This was make with the generic kernel. I can turn on debugging options and repeat if this helps. This is only a critical problem on a server,and I do not know how many have floppies these days
