Well, what's the error it gives as the cause of the panic?

Something in fdread/fdwrite-- sounds like some kind of
issue w/ the floppy hw-- remember, the OpenBSD floppy
just reads the contents of the floppy into RAM as a
ramdisk. fdformat involves a write to the disk, and I
think when you swap w/ the netbsd 2nd disk it actually
mounts that as a root filesystem (another write
activity.)
