>Description:
All of the floppy disk operations (fdformat, DD of an image to floppy, etc.) don't work on a computer that was running FreeBSD 8.3-RC1.  I reloaded 8.3-RC1 just to be sure that the hardware was still functional.  FreeBSD 8.3-RC1 works and FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE does not.

Here is my dmesg using FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE:

>How-To-Repeat:
Type fdformat on a FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE computer.  It will mark all tracks on the floppy disk as bad.  Do the same test on the same computer running FreeBSD 8.3-RC1 and everything will operate normal.
