Tried to duplicate this problem using a stock FreeBSD 4.9 with same floppy/drive/system but it works perfect.
Both installs of FreeBSD are VMWare Guests (v4.0.5 build-6030) on a Windows 2000 Host.
I found this in the vmware log file: "vcpu-0| Floppy: Data write/read without DMA enabled!"
Please cc to my address, i am not subscribed to questions. /Nikolas
