I'm not even sure if the floppy on my Haiku box is functional (I have no
other OS installed to check) but for reference I also see /dev/disk/floppy
as empty.

Doing a listimage doesn't show anything, but syslog has:
KERN: loaded driver 
/boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/disk/floppy/pc_floppy

(and nothing else apparently relevant)
