I recently upgraded to 8.1-PRERELEASE (amd64) on a Dell Optiplex 960
running 8.0-RELEASE.  After the upgrade, my floppy drive was no longer

responsible:

Can you check if reverting of MFC of the following helps (it's a part of that 
big
ACPI MFC)?

Thank you for your quick reply to my message.

Reverting this change (src/sys/dev/fdc/fdc_acpi.c from 1.13.2.2 to 1.13.2.1) appears to have fixed the issue. The floppy drive is now detected and it is functional. There do not appear to be any side effects.
