alright this one i can't seem to isolate.  i spent the whole day trying to
find out where this is coming from but whenever i (or disklabel) does a
mount of the floppy drive (/dev/afd0) i get:

amnesiac# mount -t msdos /dev/afd0 /mnt
afd0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0

i tested my fd in dos and linux and has no problems reading or writing to
the same diskette or any diskette that i used.  i reinstalled FreeBSD,
checked whatever docs i could find, reformat diskettes either using msdos or
ufs and i still get the same error message.

btw, i'm using FreeBSD 4.2-R installed from a CD burned last April 15.  in
the same system i have win98 and linux which doesn't complain about anything
regarding the fd.

anyone has seen this problem and found the source of it?
