I wrote a poor, but better-than-nothing manual page for the wfd subdriver.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wfd
+.Nd ATAPI floppy driver (LS-120 floppy driver)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd options ATAPI
+.Cd options ATAPI_STATIC
+.Cd device wfd0
+.Pp
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for
+.Em ATAPI
+floppy disks, typically LS-120 style 120mb/1.4mb floppy drives.
+In general the interfaces are similar to those described by
+.Xr wd 4
+.Xr sd 4
+and
+.Xr od 4 .
+.Pp
+As the IDE controllers are probed during boot, the
+.Em IDE
+buses are scanned for devices. Any devices found which answered as
+.Sq Em Floppy
+and
+.Sq Em removable
+type device will be attached to the
+.Nm
+driver.
+The first device found will be attached as
+.Em wfd0
+and the next,
+.Em wfd0 ,
+and so on.
+.Pp
+When used with a LS-120 drive, this driver will read/write the following
+types of floppy disk:
+.Bl -tag -width 1.25MB -compact
+.It 120mb
+.It 1.44mb
+.It 1.25mb (PC-9801 series format)
+.It 1.2mb
+.It 720kb
+.El
+.Sh PARTITIONING
+The
+.Nm
+driver allows the disk to have two levels of partitioning.
+One layer, called the
+.Dq slice layer ,
+is used to separate the
+.Tn FreeBSD
+areas of the disk from areas used by other operating systems.
+The second layer is the native
+.Bx 4.4
+partitioning scheme,
+.Xr disklabel 5 ,
+which is used to subdivide the
+.Tn FreeBSD
+slices into areas for individual filesystems.
+For more information, see
+.Xr fdisk 8
+and
+.Xr disklabel 8 ,
+respectively.
+.Pp
+If an uninitialized disk is opened, the slice table will be
+initialized with a fictitious
+.Tn FreeBSD
+slice spanning the entire disk. Similarly, if an uninitialized
+(or
+.No non- Ns Tn FreeBSD )
+slice is opened, its disklabel will be initialized with parameters
+returned by the drive and a single
+.Sq Li c
+partition encompassing the entire slice.
+.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
+Only one
+.Nm
+device is necessary in the config file; data structures are dynamically
+allocated as disks are found on the
+.Tn IDE
+buses.
+.Sh NOTES
+This driver is attached to the
+.Xr wdc 4
+IDE/ATAPI disk controller driver. It will not work unless
+IDE controllers have been configured and enabled in the kernel.
+.Sh BUGS
+Floppy formatting is not yet supported.
+.Pp
+This driver is still a beta version.
+If you have problems, please report them to <bugs@freebsd.org>
+and the author.
