This looks like a "7895" type card, that isn't currently supported by
the NetBSD driver. FreeBSD does support this chipset though.

Look in distrib/i386/floppies/fdset, you can just make your custom
kernel as 'INSTALL' (sys/arch/i386/compile/INSTALL/netbsd is what the
Makefiles want) Should be pretty straightforward.
