mtools can't find /dev/fd0
because 
/dev/fd0 does not exit (and /dev/floppy does not exit).

Can't use MKDEV
because I am using
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE.

mount says:
devfs on /dev
so I guess devfsd is running.

dmesg says:
fdc0: <floppy drive controller (FDE)> port ...etc.
so I guess the boot probe found by floppy hardware.

So why doesn't devfs automatically make a floppy special file for me????

Thanks for the help.
