A PC floppy drive will work, minus the autoeject (of course).  No magic in
OBP is needed, just make sure you have the floppy drivers built into your
kernel (in SunOS 4.x) or you do a reconfigure boot in 5.x (1).

(1).  I'm sick and tired of having to say "Solaris 2.x, 7, 8, and whatever
name the Sun marketing folks come up with next".  SunOS 5.x is clear and
unambiguous.
