It would be better to report wd0: not found. if that is possible ? >How-To-Repeat: halt, power off, pull wd0 disc off bus, reboot, watch boot pause at wd & misleading message appears >Fix: If there's no way to discriminate between absent disc & absent card ( I don't know, I hope there is) how about changing message to wdc0 or wd0 not found
