Friend
I think I see your problem in the boot log.
FBSD is having problems reading your PC's bios.
Enter your PC bio's menu and disable all options dealing with power
management.
While you are there also disable any plug-n-play option and if there
is an operating system option change that to 'other' or at least not
ms/windows.

Subject: Problem with foppy drive

Hello Друг( it means friend on russian)

Now I'll try to answer your questions.
I tested my floppy drive in the same way
1. Boot one Operating System
2. Write some data on the floppy disc (usually it is mp3-files or
   jpg-files)
3. Reboot my PC and boot another OS
4. Check data - everything good
5. Format disc and test again in the same way

Also I read and wrote data on my discs on another PC during this
term
and didn't have problems

Next question about hardware

 1. Soltek mainboard
   SL-85DIR
   Socket 478 Mainboard
   Intel 845d series
 2. nVidia G-force 4 MX 440 64MB DDR (AGP)
 3. 512MB DDR RAM memory
 4. Creative Sound Blaster Live!5.1
 5. Winmodem ZyXEL Omni 56K PCI (i thinc FreeBSD know nothing about
it)
 6. Asus CD-ROM drive 50x IDE
 7. Yamaha 3200 CD-RW drive
 8. Intel Pentium 4 Processor Socket 478
 9. HDD 40 Gb SEAGATE UDMA 7200 BARRACUDA
10. and this floppy drive
I think that's all
My PC is 1.5 years old.
I bought in 24-July-2002
About scsi:
There is no scsi in my computer so floppy drive is not scsi

when I try :
  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
my system displays :
msdosfs : /dev/fd0: No sush file or directory
I can say that there was no time whan this file existed
so i cannot mount floppy

Here is /var/run/dmesg.boot
