Hello
	I'm having trouble useing the floppy drive under 2.0.5-950622-SNAP.
I did not have any problem with 2.0.5-ALPHA && 2.0.5-RELEASE.
I checked the disks they are fine.  This is what is happening.

Lets try a unix disk:
fdformat /dev/fd0c
Everything works fine, now when I try and mount the disk.
mount /dev/fd0c /mnt
/dev/fd0c on /mnt: Incorrect super block.

Lets try a msdos disk:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt
msdos: mount: Input/output error

dmesg shows:
fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 1<no_am> ST2 0 cyl 0 
hd 0 sec 1)

Any ideas?
