Floppy drive problem

I rarely use them, but I have a floppy I needed to format and copy to. The 
problem is anything I try with the drive results in this error:

Processing fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Device not configured

It shows up fine in dmesg, and I've used it before.

fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on 
isa0
fdc0: [FAST]
fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0

These are brand new disks. Does anyone have a suggestion?

BTW, I'm running the latest -CURRENT

Thanks,

Beech
