>Description:

	I have two Intel deskboards:  
		D850GB/Pentium 4 1.7MHz, 512 Mb RAM
		D815EEA/Pentium III, 900 MHz, 256 Mb RAM
	and two floppy drives of the same brand and model:
		SONY MPF920-Z
	
	I installed FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE and updated it to patch 7 in both computers.
	I do not have access to floppy drives.  The problem is not restricted to
	handle filesystems, [both msdosfs, ufs fail to mount], disc images
	cannot be written to floppies .

	I also tried to make a etherboot boot disc.  
	I cannot even make FreeBSD boot floppies. My FreeBSD-5.0 is working
	perfectly and I could make boot floppies from FreeBSD-4.8

	Deskboards/Floppy drives work under FreeBSD 4.8 [I deinstalled FreeBSD-5.0
	from one of them, installed FreeBSD 4.8  and the floppy drive worked again] 
			
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD-5.0 on a computer with a Intel deskboard, I do not know if the 
floppy type is relevant.  

test a)	Take a FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE CD and mount it in your system:
			mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom
	Insert a new floppy in you floppy drive.
	Try to write kern.flp image to your floppy:
	[according to the /floppies/readme.txt file in the FreeBSD 5.0 CD]
			dd if=/cdrom of=/dev/rfd0
	I do not have this device-file.  I tried:
			dd if=/cdrom of=/dev/fd0

test b) Let suppose you have a kern.flp floppy.  Try to mount it:
			mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
			
test c)	Try to mount an ms-dos floppy
			mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

test d)	Install mtools from the ports [/usr/ports/emulators/mtools].
	Try to read a ms-dos floppy

			mdir a:

I also run all of these tests on FreeBSD 4.8, they all worked perfectly.

>Fix:
	
	Unknown.
