Not sure how the floppy ITU is failing on your PC. Can you give us a few more details how it fails? When Solaris is installed (or when you boot into a single user shell from the installation media), does it see a floppy device /dev/rdiskette and /dev/diskette ? Is it possible to read from the floppy media, e.g. with "dd if=/dev/rdiskette of=/dev/null count=36" ? Is it possible to identify the filesystem format for the floppy media in the drive, using "fstyp -v /dev/diskette"? If the floppy media isn't accessible through the /dev/rdiskette device, it could be: - you're using an usb floppy device, which isn't supported for floppy ITU media - bug 6312400, "ps/2 floppy is not enumerated when acpi is disabled or not supported" http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6312400 - bug 6294851, "Some system boards incorrectly detect floppy controller as needing FDCMODE_30, fail to detect change" http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6294851 - ... maybe yet another bug ...
