He did:

>: controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio flags 0x1 irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr

I'm having this same problem.  The flags argument to the controller doesn't
work in all cases apparently.  And to the number of people who emailed me,
*YES* I did config, compile, and boot the new kernel, I'm not a moron.

There's something up here, and nobody seems to know what it is.

*Sigh*

Someday I'll be able to back up my system.
