Very quick guess: ACPI problems (bad BIOS) ...

Worksforme, FWIW:

[lofi at lofi]:0:~ > uname -a
FreeBSD lofi.dyndns.org 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #3: Wed Jun 11

[lofi at lofi]:0:~ > dmesg | grep fdc
fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> port 
0x3f7,0x3f2-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0

fd1: <1200-KB 5.25" drive> on fdc0 drive 1

I tested mounting something in the 3.5" drive, works (I'm willing to test the
