Are you running a plain /dev/ or do you use udev or devfs or something?
If plain /dev, then something has deleted the node. Make it again,
block, major 2, minor 0
If udev, then the module for your floppy drive is not inserted so it
doesn't know about the floppy drive so it doesn't make a node. In this
case, use modconf and find the module.
For testing, put a scratch disk in the drive then after each change, try
to format the disk.
