I've tried to boot a kernel with your fd.c patch on my Sun IPX. It
hangs after writing:

fdc0 at mainbus0 ioaddr 0xf7200000 pri 11, softpri 4: chip 82077

It's apparent that my machine has an 82077, which does not work with
the current floppy driver.

Thanks for your assistance.

(BTW, I'm _very_ grateful for the NetBSD/sparc work which is done by
you and the rest of the NetBSD community. Thanks a lot!)
