>Description:

	There _are_ some special ioctl() control codes that apply only to
	floppy disks (see /usr/include/machine/ioctl_fd.h) but these are
	not documented, e.g. in fdc(4).

	Also, of course, the man page for fdc(4) should mention:

		#include <machine/ioctl_fd.h>

	as being something that you need to do in order to get at the ioctl()
	codes for floppy drives.

>How-To-Repeat:

	man 4 fdc

>Fix:

	Read the source for /usr/include/machine/ioctl_fd.h.
