I'm writing an app that needs to know what floppy drives are connected to
the system. Right now, I'm parsing the output of 'dmesg', but 'dmesg' can
fill up so that the part where floppy drives are listed is no longer
available. Is there an ioctl or some other interface for discovering fd0,
fd1, etc?

Thanks.
