If you're using a Tadpole load of Solaris, then make sure that the floppy
drive is set to SCSI ID 5, and that you have booted up with 'boot -r' from
Openboot to make sure the device tree gets rebuilt.  That's all you should
need to do.

Bear in mind that if you are using the 'test' command at OpenBoot it may
not return meaningful results - you're probably better off booting into an
O/S and using dd to check that the device really is written to.
