So, to clarify, in your BIOS, you have boot order set to something like
"A/SCSI/C" or something similar to that (depending of course on BIOS
manufacturer and how they decided they wanted to denote things). Also,
what does /boot/grub/device.map look like?

Since you are running Roswell and therefore have a recent kudzu, can you
get the output of `/usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c FLOPPY`?

Actually, depending on your BIOS boot order and the contents of the
device.map, this drive may not actually be accessible.
