Look at your messages. You might notice that the probe fails to find
fd0 even though it successfully booted off the disk. I have had
friends have this problem before. I don't have an explanation for it,
but putting DDB into the kernel on the floppy might be valuable since
that would permit an attempt to see what is going on that prevents the
floppy from probing.
