     I have problems with the floppy disk drive on a newly
     installed PC FreeBsd UNIX (the installation program
     did a great job, everything seems to be working, except...)
     
     When I boot the PC, there is a message telling me that
     my floppy disk drive is not correctly configured. So I
     change the System Setup, but that solves nothing (I think
     that actually, the settings are correct).
     
     I have installed the bindinst files, and the man pages,
     and now, when I try to install other things (using the
     bininst program), the program refuses to read the floppy.
     
     I also did lsdev, and Unix told me that fd0 was my floppy
     disk drive.
     
     So I put the boot floppy into the drive, and did:
     
     disklabel -r fd0
     
     It answered:
     
     fd0c:hard error reading fsbn0 of 0-15
     STO40 <abnrml> ST1 <no_am> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1
     disklabel : /dev/rfdc0: Input/output error
     
     Now I don't know what else I can do. I would appreciate any
     help, not to technical, because I'm pretty new to
     that UNIX thing.
     
     Thanks for replying something!
