VirtualBox floppy support

I want my guests to access host's physical floppy drive.

I've added these lines to /etc/devfs.conf

Code:
own  fd0 root:operator
perm fd0 0660

Restarted devfs and now fd0 reads as;

Code:
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0,  83 Feb  6 18:13 /dev/fd0

My user is in correct group;

Code:
uid=1001(zare) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator)

...and VirtualBox's GUI shows no floppy devices in dropdown box - I can only select disk images.

I've also tried passing /dev/fd0 to VBOX_FLOPPY environment variable, but still nothing.
