dd on a usb floppy (/dev/da0) failing

[Joel Diaz]

On FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, when I run 'dd if=./image.dd of=/dev/da' i  
get the following:

dd: /dev/da0: Device busy
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 2.xxx secs (0 bytes/sec)


This is as root with rw permissions on /dev/da0.  And the floppy is  
not mounted.

Reading geom(4) mentions that this kind of thing can happen, but  
there is no solution.

I tried setting the foot shooting debug through sysctl, and it still  
doesn't work.

What do I have to do to be able to do a dd of a floppy image onto a  
USB floppy?

Thanks,

Joel
