had this problem, though not on my Laptop, I cured it but switching support for a floppy drive on in the BIOS even though no Floppy drive was on the machine... AROS worked fine after that
No go!
Here's the deal:
The floppy can't be disabled or enabled.
Floppy access is external USB only.
CMOS can't be accessed as usual at boot-up (at least I have not figured out how to do so).
There is a hardware settings app in the windows control panel to change boot priorities and there is no option that does not include floppy.
Most new laptops (and some desttops) do not come with floppy drives anymore. USB floppys are used if needed.
I feel that an endless loop condition is a BUG that should be fixed.
Laptops are fast becoming the computer of choise as their prices continue to drop. Most will not come with built-in floppy drives and hense wont work with the current state of AROS.
