Getting devfs to recognize a hotplug floppy

The subject line just about says it all. I'm trying to learn how to get 
devfs to create an fd0 enty in /dev automatically when I plug a floppy 
drive into the serial port of a running Dell D600 laptop running 6.0 
current. I've looked at 'man devfs/devfs.conf/devfs.rules', searched the 
lists, searched the web, etc. this is either really simple, and I/m 
trying to make it complicated (probably), or no one else is trying to do 
this (probably not).

If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

TIA,
Patrick
