I've never used a floppy tape under FreeBSD and am about to assume that if I can open /dev/ft0, a floppy tape exists (I won't use it directly as I know about the necessity of ft, but I just want to be able to "probe" it this way). Any reasons why this won't work? If so, can anyone suggest an alternative method? Please don't suggest lsdev as I'm not ready to rely on that quite yet - I'm going to do it the brute-force way for 2.0.5 and leave the fancier methods for when I have more time to play with all of it.
