This one:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/drivers/block/floppy.c?v=linux-2.4.22;im=bigexcerpts#L1800

Adding max_sensei-- to OpenBIOS allows it to survive your previous
patch, which caused an infinite loop earlier:

floppy_motor_off
SENSEI c0 00
SENSEI c0 00
SENSEI c0 00
SENSEI c0 00
status = 80, reply_buffer= c0 0

Thanks!
