fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
fdc0: interrupting at ISA irq 6

then fd0 is never attached into /dev

Is this still a problem with recent 5.x version, e.g., 5.3-BETA3?

This seems to be fixed in 6.0-CURRENT:

deepthought# uname -a
FreeBSD deepthought.blinkenlights.nl 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #4:

deepthought# ls -la /dev/fd*

/dev/fd:

There may be other problems with fd* on alpha, but this one seems
to have been fixed.

Original submitter did not followup for last 3.5 years. As Sten Spans
stated it's fixed (or at least not reproduceable anymore) on alpha
platforms. I recommend to close this one.
