ufs floppy mount error, FreeBSD 5.2

[Nikolas Britton]

I'm getting an "Input/output" error message when trying to mount a ufs 
floppy ("mount -o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt") in FreeBSD 5.2 (Stock).

Tried to duplicate this problem using a stock FreeBSD 4.9 with same 
floppy/drive/system but it works perfect.

Both installs of FreeBSD are VMWare Guests (v4.0.5 build-6030) on a 
Windows 2000 Host.
I found this in the vmware log file: "vcpu-0| Floppy: Data write/read 
without DMA enabled!"
