Thanks a lot!
Thanks, after I disable the acpi (actually just choose option 2 from the boot menu!), I got my floppy drive back. I also follow your instruction and change the load.conf. Is it okay just to leave it like this? Or still have to find a better solution to solve that acpi... port... problem?
Thanks.

acpi_fujitsu
ACPI_FUJITSU(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ACPI_FUJITSU(4)
NAME
acpi_fujitsu -- Fujitsu Laptop Extras
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device acpi_fujitsu
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
acpi_fujitsu_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The acpi_fujitsu driver enables the ACPI-controlled buttons on Fujitsu notebooks. The button events are sent to userspace via devd(8), and a
sysctl(8) interface is provided to simulate the hardware events.
Using this driver, one can control the brightness of the display, the volume of the speakers, and the internal (eraserhead) mouse pointer.
SYSCTL VARIABLES
These sysctls are currently implemented:
hw.acpi.fujitsu.lcd_brightness
Makes the LCD backlight brighter or dimmer.
hw.acpi.fujitsu.pointer_enable
Enables or disables the internal mouse pointer.
hw.acpi.fujitsu.volume
Controls the speaker volume.
hw.acpi.fujitsu.mute
Mutes the speakers.
Defaults for these sysctls can be set in sysctl.conf(5).
EXAMPLES
The following can be added to devd.conf(5) in order to pass button events to a /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh script:
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "FUJITSU";
action "/usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh $notify fujitsu";
};
A possible /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh script might look like:
#!/bin/sh
#
if [ "$1" = "" -o "$2" = "" ]
then
echo "usage: $0 notify oem_name"
exit 1
fi
NOTIFY=`echo $1`
LOGGER="logger"
CALC="bc"
BC_PRECOMMANDS="scale=2"
ECHO="echo"
CUT="cut"
MAX_LCD_BRIGHTNESS=7
MAX_VOLUME=16
OEM=$2
DISPLAY_PIPE=/tmp/acpi_${OEM}_display
case ${NOTIFY} in

LEVEL=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.${OEM}.mute`
if [ "$LEVEL" = "1" ]
