This happened on my ET4000 card.  I had to comment out fd0 from the 
kernel to get things to work properly.

What i notice is that during bootup, when it tried to access the fd0, the 
screen text scroll start to get messup.  After boot, if I mount /dev/fd0a 
and access it, then scrolling is back to normal.

I had thought this problem was to to some SVGA cards using IRQ 2 for 
vertical refresh...
