>Description:
When attempting to use the "Load Config" option on a Compaq DL360
sysinstall "hangs" and stops responding.  The following is output on
the second tty:

DEBUG: Init floppy called for install.cfg distribution
fdc0: direction bit not set
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: direction bit not set
fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4

fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: direction bit not set
fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4


The same occurs if an attempt is made to use a repair floppy.

This occurs on more than one Compaq DL360.  The floppy drive does not
appear to be accessed at all (no seek, or motor spin noticeable).

The floppy disk used is an MSDOS format floppy that can be mounted and
modifiied on the same computer once the OS has been installed.  However
as the floppy does not appear to be accessed, any floppy disk gives 
the above symptoms

>How-To-Repeat:
On a Compaq DL360 boot from the 4.3 Release, put a floppy disk 
(any floppy disk will do) and select the "Load Config" option at the
sysinstall Main Menu.

sysinstall will hang, and the second tty will display the fdc errors.
