I think I'm seeing something quite similar to your woes on my
486/33 box... My -current kernels (from vintages sometime in the
first week of January to now) fail to recognize my single 3.5"
floppy drive. I can boot off the drive, and a stock 1.2 boot
disk probes and attaches it quite fine.
The message I get in fd.c if I turn on the FD debug code is:
fdcresult: 70 0
(or something quite close to that, as I'm doing this from memory)
My suspicion was also the delay macros, but I didn't loop all that
hard at it other than building a kernel with a debug fd.c and taking
DUMMY_NOPS out of the kernel config file... neither of those got me
very far :-/
If you (or someone else on the lists) find something interesting out,
pass the good news along... I'd love to get a working floppy, as
that's currently the only way I can carry stuff from one machine to
the other reliably (my thinnet cabling seems leaking ether lately...)
