6.2 hangs probing floppy



I updated my pentium 3 PC Compaq Desktop 450 from freebsd 5.3 (which
was working like a charme indeed!) to the new 6.2 installing from a CD.

It happens that the boot
1) runs smoothly as usual till after the
probing of the CDs,
2) then the boot hangs for about 3 minutes probing
the floppy (I see the floppy led turned on for the same time),
3)
eventually again smoothly till the end of the booting process.

I
noticed that the /dev/fd0 device is not found and there's no way to
mount it.

What shall I do?

Vittorio
