It is a file descriptor, not a floppy device. The floppy driver fdc(4) is for the PC architecture, not for sparc64. Both fdc(4) and atapifd(4) are commented out in the sparc64 GENERIC kernel. According to the 6.2 installation instructions for sparc64, a floppy disk based install is not supported on sparc64. Maybe the floppy is connected to the SCSI bus?
