Description
Steps to reproduce:
http://paginas.terra.com.br/informatica/pauloestrela/HaikuLiveCD.tar.bz2
Burn these two files to a CD (cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom boot.image haiku.image). Insert Disc and reboot. While Haiku is loading, the floppy drive light will be on permenantly.
Expected: Floppy should be silently and unlit.
Might be a symptom from using his boot.image.

The following was suggested on the haiku-development mailinglist as a fix to #824: http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/xicon-and-executable-scripts,18
(Just recording this for posterity, in case the bug is still with us.)

I've booted the Alpha ISO on a PC with a floppy drive and do not see this happening now. Closing. If it still happens for anyone we can always reopen this ticket.
Can you enable the disabled code in line 68 in src/system/boot/platform/bios_ia32/shell.S to see if that helps you, and has no undesired effects like the broken reboot in Bochs? :-)
