I have no floppy device in /dev

I think the following is the reason why, but I have no clue how to fix
it:

~$ dmesg |grep fd
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports)

I am running 5.1, although it has always been broken since a clean
install of 5.0R. I just need it now....

It is not a hardware problem as it is working perfectly on 4.8 on another
slice.

Thanks
