Floppy read error causes reboot

[Garrett Cooper]

Hello,
    I recently tried reading a 3 1/2" floppy disk in my machine and was 
moving a file from a Windows machine to my FreeBSD machine. Turns out 
since most of the floppies are ancient, so after using them in one 
machine, they tend to fail in the other or they just fail on the first shot.
    Anyhow, what occurred was that I tried to install a port and tar 
timed out as it couldn't read from the file. Then in an attempt to copy 
the port binary, the machine appeared to deadlock (although I didn't try 
to interrupt it), and then the machine rebooted automatically after what 
I believe was 30 seconds.
    Now, this is my first time submitting a 'bug' to this list, so 
instead of including information now I will submit any and all 
information by request in whatever form someone finds necessary. I will 
say though that I'm running 5.4-CURRENT on a pentium 4 with a custom 
kernel, if that makes any difference.
    Thanks for your help!
