} GENERIC kernel from todays source with "fdc0 at ebus?" enabled:

     Hmm, a floppy drive attachment; that's a good start.

} # dd if=/dev/rfd0c of=/tmp/rfd0c   

     Use rfd0a.  Floppy drives are different from hard drives in that
the final letter is used to indicated the type of floppy and not a
partition.  By using rfd0c you told it that you have a 720KB floppy.
