while executing the command
tar cvMf /dev/fd0 linux2021.tpz
the following the error messages below appeared in the syslog.
This is Kernel version 2.1.8, floppy compiled into kernel. I already
reported the same error for 2.1.7. This does not always happen, I had to
do the tar command several times, and I started some other system activities
in parallel (netscape).
Regards
Steffen
