seems like devfsd provides only a minimal compatibility.
adding this to /etc/devfsd.conf fixes it:

REGISTER        ^floppy/0u1440  CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink floppy/0u1440 fd0H1440
REGISTER        ^floppy/1u1440  CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink floppy/1u1440 fd1H1440
UNREGISTER      ^floppy/0u1440  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink fd0H1440
UNREGISTER      ^floppy/1u1440  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink fd1H1440

but this is quite ugly :-(

i'm also going to patch mkbootdisk so this isn't needed anymore.
