It sounds like this is yet another DS20 bogon, as floppies work fine
on my XP1000s under 4.0-RELEASE.  Is this on the genuine DS20, or the
UP2000?

Damn.  I'm not even sure how to go about debugging this..  I think the
S/G DMA setup code is correct, and it seems like the ISA code must be
at least partially correct if the thing is getting probed at all.
