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.
