Maybe we have yet another issue with resources...

I thing I have noticed is that when the floppy attach fails there is another
attempt a short time later.

Not sure if it's related though.

Anyone know of any debugging that could be tried to shed more light on the
problem?

I've built a kernel without "device fdc" on amd64 at least since 5.4 IIRC. I
had problems with hangs when accessing the floppy drive.

Haven't used floppies in years, don't miss them. A USB thumbdrive holds
a lot more data anyway.
