NO! its a read failure on the floppy disk drive! relax!
what i am less sure how to know whats the attempt (probly a system
status process) to read it, ...
if you do, (might need sudo?)
dmesg > /tmp/foo
then do
vi /tmp/foo
then in vi, do a
ctl-g
to hop to end of file, ...
do you see any device errors with regard to the floppy? /dev/fd0 , etc?
hth, jackc...

this just keeps going,
I didnt notice this at first today, the system seems to boot normally
I haven't been using this f11 much at all since installing it about 1 month ago;
It was installed using hdinstall from my main os f10.
I mostly use my main f10.
any suggestions?
I dont know for sure,
but I think this was not occurring on my previous days, weeks
occasional boots of this f11.
Reinstall only option?
I havent done anything with fd0, so I am mystified.
