>Description:
        The grub port is mapping the (fd0) device to /dev/rfd0. Under -CURRENT
this no longer exists. grub should be looking at /dev/fd0 instead. This problem
makes it impossible to create boot floppies using grub. In addition, when grub
is told to look at the correct device, via the device command, it throws an
assertion.

>How-To-Repeat:
        The following is a capture from a grub session:

        balderdash#/usr/local/sbin/grub
        grub> root (fd0)

        Error 21: Selected disk does not exist

        grub> device (fd0) /dev/fd0

        grub>root (fd0) Assertion failed: (fd >= 0), function get_drive_geometry, file device.c, line 77.
                 Abort (core dumped)
                                    balderdash#
