>Description:
There looks like there is a bug in the floppy/disklabel code.
In fd.c in the ioctl routine it calls readdisklabel and writedisklabel
with the fourth arguement being a NULL. In the actuall readdisklabel
code it uses the fourth arguement as..
readdisklabel(a, b, c, d)
{
something = d->dospart;
if (something)
Assumeing page 0 contains all zero's this shouldn't be a problem.
Does NetBSD/i386 unmap page 0 in the kernel space to cause page
faults if someone is accessing it, like in userland?
