It sounds like your floppy drive is not being detected by the kernel. You don't mention what version of FreeBSD you're running. If you're using 4.x, you could do: # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV fd0 to create the fd0 device, but you shouldn't have to. 5.x takes care of the device management for you. More info would be helpful. -- Joshua "Get back to your stations!" "We're beaming down to the planet, sir." -- Kirk and Mr. Leslie, "This Side of Paradise", stardate 3417.3
