Hi,

it looks like my floppy disapeared since 5.X. (I'm shure I used it once to
upgrade the SRM. But I'm not _that_ shure that I was able to use it even
in FreeBSD 4 - and I don't store old dmesgs that often.. maybe on some old
backups ;)

So the physical connection seems to work. But:

Where is fd0? ;)
