If you are running FBSD 5.x then I don't know how you fix the problem; but for 4.x you need to execute /dev/MAKEDEV to create devices that are=20 somehow missing. For example: # cd /dev #./ MAKEDEV fd0 If it happens to be an ATAPI floppy then it will not be fd0 but afd0. > it.also,in the > file /etc/fstab,i couldn`t see the device /dev/fd0 .is possible > that,freebsd does not > found my floppy? # dmesg should tell you whether the floppy drive is found -- or at least the inte= rface=20 for it.
