NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (GENERIC) i386

>Description:
When disconnecting a USB mass storage device, while the system is performing a write to it, the device becomes unusable (or the system crashes).
On i386 the system crashes.
On ARM systems the device becomes unusable, the drive cannot be unmounted or remounted.
I get the following error: "umount: /dev/sd0c: Input/output error".

When trying to force unmount the device, the system hangs (umount -f).

The USB drive is formatted with FFS.

>How-To-Repeat:
- mount the USB drive. (mount /dev/sd0c /mnt/disk")
- run dd to write some file to the disk. (dd if=/dev/zero
of=/mnt/disk/test_file")
- disconnect the disk while the write operation is in progress.

Now try to unmount the device.
