After boot:
# mount /dev/fd/0 /mnt
mount: /dev/fd/0: Block device required
You should not use /dev/fd/0! It is a file descriptor, not a floppy device.
The floppy driver fdc(4) is for the PC architecture, not for
sparc64. Both fdc(4) and atapifd(4) are commented out in the sparc64
GENERIC kernel. According to the 6.2 installation instructions for
sparc64, a floppy disk based install is not supported on sparc64.
Maybe the floppy is connected to the SCSI bus?
