I guess that's a typo... should be /dev/rfd0.

You floppies clearly have I/O errors on them. You could try to
reformat them, or even better, use new ones.
When you use FreeBSD to create the floppies, use this command
instead of dd:
fdwrite < kern.flp
fdwrite < mfsroot.flp
It will format, write and verify the floppies at the same time,
thus avoiding the problem of badly preformatted floppies.

Oliver
