I re-enabled some floppy quirks that I'm unsure are needed but I had to do
it for the upcoming 4.9R just in case.  So your results don't help at this
point.

Could you put an "#if 0" and "#endif" around the section marked:
/* USB floppy devices supported by umass(4) */

Alternatively, cvsup sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c to rev 1.42.2.42 and test the
floppy again.

Thanks,
Nate
