Sorry for the non-reply.  I have only been able to setup a -current
box by last week (and this one doesn't even want to recognize the
floppy controller when ACPI is used, but at least the non-ACPI part
seems to work), but I have yet to follow all of your discussion and
patches...

I've noticed more (longer-standing) brokeness in the floppy driver
as well: the automatic creation of cloned devices stopped working
some time before FreeBSD 5.2.  I also intend to fix that.
