Question Floppy drive problem.

My FreeBSD install at ad0s1, and Windows 2000 at ad2s1.
Everytime I start my FreeBSD, it shows me this message:
fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
pmtimer 0 on isa0
fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports)

My Floppy drive info:
0x03F2 - 0x03F3
0x03F4 - 0x03F5
0x03F7 - 0x03F7
IRQ 6
channel 2

When I'm using FreeBSD 4.7, it can detect my fd0.

Thanks.
