Hmm yes, he is. But he ain't wrong: the /dev/fd0h1440 (note the lower case h) device allows you to put 1440K on a 5.25" disk. Thus the bug is real (and I'll try to track it down as soon as I have the time...). Ironically, this is the first time that I see that the /dev/fd0h1440 device is used as it should...
