fd access problem

Hello,

I'm suffering strange problem with accessing floppy.
When trying to access /dev/fd0c with fdcontrol(8), or simply to mount it
I'm getting the following error:
	
fdcontrol: open(floppy): Device not configured

However, if I'm booting machine with floppy in drive everything works fine.

Some details:

#dmesg | grep fd
fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold

#uname -a

I rebuilt fd devices several times with `MAKEDEV fd`, but without any luck.
Is there anything else I can try to solve the problem?
