You will have to rebuild the device node (covered in you admin manuals under MAKEDEV) to use it by default, or you could try eject /dev/fd0a You may have to use the raw device (rfd0a); I don't know, never having faced the problem. You can also get the error running 'eject' on machines without floppy drives.
