Well, that's definately strange since all of our 3.5" floppies
(and both my 3.5" `A' and 5.25" `B' floppies) work just fine.

Are you sure you have FreeBSD installed 100% correctly?  Please send
what symptoms you can to FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com so that
folks who might have some other clues can see them.

Thanks.
