floppy woes

[andy <tireseas_(_at_)_onetel_(_dot_)_com>]

Hi all

I am running OBSD3.6 and upon attempting to mount a floppy disk after 
having created the mount point /floppy, I am presented with the 
response: "mount_msdos /dev/fd0a on /floppy: Device not configured". 
Does this mean that the device (i.e. the floppy drive) itself is not set 
up properly or that the file format is not being recognised?

If the former, is this something to be expected on a fresh install and 
the user is required to compile something into the kernel, or am I 
missing a trick here? The floppy drive was present and set up during 
install, so I am curious as to why it wouldn't be "configured".

TIA
