Re: [Qemu-devel] (TEST) memtest86+ & memtest86 & qemu 1.60

["André Braga" <meianoite@gmail.com>]

There's a bug in the floppy emulation code. And this patch (by Jani
Monoses) is supposed to fix it (I guess... Unless the bug in memtest
is triggered by a different event than failing to read the last
sectors, but that's highly unlikely since it works OK from the ISO)
