BTW: it seems we need an entry in the 4.7 relnotes that floppy access
on Tsunami based Alphas is (still) broken:

FreeBSD 4.7-RC (DS10) #2: Wed Sep 25 23:54:17 CEST 2002
You have new mail.

Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0.1440'? (y/n): y
Processing EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE done.

Anyone with a non-DS10 Tsunami based box tried this recently?
