    Hello All:

    I just installed FreeBSD 5.1 as a fresh install and there is something weird going on with my floppy drive.

    The directory structure that was created looks like this...
         /dev/df/0
         /dev/df/1
         /dev/df/2

    This is what is showing up in dmesg...
         fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
         fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range 6 ports

    However this is not /dev/fdc0 file.

    If I try to mount /dev/df/0 this is what I get...
         mount /dev/fd/0 /floppy
         mount: /dev/fd/0: Block device required

    I've done searches on the web and can see that other people have had the same problem but I haven't seen a fix. Can anybody help me?

    Thanks!
