Hi!

I was happily mkfs'ing some floppies when suddently the machine blew
up and said:

Unrecoverable write error on device 2/0 block 359
Unvercoverable disk error on device 2/0 block 359

Non Maskable Interrumpt
Process Number -2 pc = 0x0060:0x000009c7

I though that was the drive so I test it out with MS-DOS format.

It formatted the disk in ms-dos and when I mkfs the floppies
they formatted in MINIX.  

What I'm doing wrong?
