The fd device represents the kernel floppy driver. There are a
couple of things I can think of, right off. It sounds like your
floppy drive is not being detected by the kernel. You don't
mention what version of FreeBSD you're running. If you're using
4.x, you could do:
# cd /dev
# sh MAKEDEV fd0
to create the fd0 device, but you shouldn't have to. 5.x takes
care of the device management for you. More info would be helpful.
