It always gives an error even when formatting a new floppy, When I used version 4.8, the formatting works fine with the same machine and hardware. I also find the number of drives in Free BSD 5.1 much less than in version 4.8. Many of the device drivers in /dev corresponding to fd0 are not available. I have decided to go back to version 4.8 Any similiar experiences? Verghese George
