+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fdc
+.Nd NEC765 compatible floppy disk driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "fdc0 at isa? port 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2"
+.Cd "fd* at fdc? drive ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm fdc
+driver supports the standard AT floppy 
+disk controllers. These include standard IDE, MFM, RLL,
+EIDE, ESDI and SCSI controllers with floppy attachment.
+.Pp
+When using the
+.Nm fdc
+driver with
+.Nm disklabel
+the last letter is used to indicate the floppy size:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It a: default (probed) geometry of drive, max supported.
+.It b: 1.44MB
+.It c: 1.2MB
+.It d: 360KB/AT (360KB disk in a 1.2 MB drive)
+.It e: 360KB/PC (360KB drive)
+.It f: 720KB
+.It g: 720KB/x (720KB in a 1.2 MB drive)
+.It h: 360KB/x (360KB in a 720KB drive)
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Nm fdc 
+driver can interfere with other controllers namely some WD/SMC
+network controllers fail to work when the probing mechanism
+in the 
+.Nm fdc 
+driver probes for a missing second floppy drive.
+In this case you should try recompiling the kernel with
+the replacing the relevant line with
+.Cd "fd0 at fdc? drive ?".
