>Description:
Trying to install FreeBSD 5.1-BETA on a Sony Vaio PCG-C1F, which has a
USB-attached floppy. kern.flp and mfsroot.flp are fine thanks to BIOS, but
when you try to load drivers.flp, sysinstall just says "couldn't find a
floppy drive" or words to that effect.

The floppy drive is detected as follows:

da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Y-E DATA USB-FDU 1.44> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 20KB/s transfers
da0: 1M (2880 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1C)

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

I don't know the best solution. If /dev/fd0 is not available, try hunting for
other removable devices?
