Mikhail,
I suspect the problem does not lie in FreeBSD, but elsewhere. Have you
tried using different floppy discs? Specially another brand? Maybe the
cable connecting your floppy drive is playing on you or even the drive
itself is faulty.
If this were the case, would I notice it with Linux,
ajm,
Thanks for taking the pains to reply.
This is what I tried:
localhost# newfs -L FreeBSD /dev/fd0
newfs: wtfs: 512 bytes at sector 2879: Input/output error
localhost# newfs_msdos -f 1440 -L MSDOS /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0: 2847 sectors in 2847 FAT12 clusters (512 bytes/cluster)
bps=512 spc=1 res=1

Hi, all!
I run DesktopBSD 1.0 and I cannot mount floppies. I had the same problem
with FreeBSD 5.5. Here it goes:
localhost# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error
localhost# fdformat /dev/fd0
Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y
Processing fdformat:
