Hi, all!
I run DesktopBSD 1.0 and I cannot mount floppies. I had the same problem
with FreeBSD 5.5. Here it goes:
localhost# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error
localhost# fdformat /dev/fd0
Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y
Processing fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Input/output error
This is what dmesg says:

(End of dmesg.)
I can mount floppies with other OSes, Kubuntu LiveCD for instance. I
googled and found other people having similar problems. One solution that
was put forward was using a non-ACPI kernel. With FreeBSD 5.5 I recompiled
the kernel with ACPI disabled, but the problem still persisted. I don't
know what to do now.
(As a matter of fact, I might be having the same problem with cdrom!)
Could someone help me? Much oblige!
