tried, can't even use it at all since it's looking in dev/sun for fd.c which
doesn't exist there. ;)

seriously though, what is buggy about it, and what needs to be done to make it
not buggy?  i've got one here, i'm willing to do what work needs to be done to
make it function correctly, as that is something that would be incredibly
useful to me.  i *really* need to make NetBSD/i386 boot floppies and the floppy
drive on my g/f's laptop just took a crap leaving me with two floppies that i
cannot use (not supported under sparc64 or macppc, whee!!)
