net
>Environment:

	System      : OpenBSD 3.3
	Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
	Machine     : i386

>Description:
        

>How-To-Repeat:

	The Toshiba Portege 3440ct does not boot, if the Toshiba USB floppy
	drive is attached while powering the machine on. The following is
	printed to the screen:

	reading boot.......
	probing: pc0 com0 apm mem[639K 126M a20=on]
	disk: fd0

	After this it doesn't respond anymore.

	The problem seems to be in src/sys/arch/i386/stand/libsa/biosdev.c
	where CHS_rw() is called. This function doesn't return.

	Sorry for not posting the dmesg, but I only have this floppy drive
	to boot from.

>Fix:
If I can do anything to help fixing this, just mail me.
