Well, at me my floppy absolutely beside:)
And it even works, if I load old kernel.

uname-a
FreeBSD home.eugene.intranet 5.1-BETA FreeBSD 5.1-BETA *7: Fri May 23 
00:08:27 MSD 2003 
eugene at home.eugene.intranet:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/EUKERNEL i386
dmesg|grep fdc
fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> at port 
0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0

And, since updating on June, 23, floppy does not work.
Diagnostics same, as at you.

dmesg|grep fdc

fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports)

Sometimes it is required working floppy.
It would be desirable to solve this problem.
