The floppy drivers use the minor device (which is represented as the char
past the number) for things like different densities. That's why you use
/dev/rfd0a for standard floppy access.

On disks the minor is used to select partitions - and there is no partitioning
on the boot floppies. So you need to use the "whole disk" partition, which on
sparcs happens to be "c" (actually it's probably "c" on everything but i386).
