Try this from Sunpci Answerbook2

If Volume Manager support for diskette drives has been re-enabled on your
system, and you encounter problems accessing diskette drives through SunPCi,
try disabling Volume Manager and restarting the SunPCi window. If the
problem persists, try disabling Volume Manager and rebooting your system.

To disable the Solaris Volume Manager, perform the following steps:

   1.Make sure that SunPCi is not running. Become superuser.

   2.Disable Volume Manager by entering the following command:

     # /opt/SUNWspci/bin/vold_floppy_disable

   3.Exit superuser.

   4.Restart all SunPCi windows.

Subject: [SunHELP] SunPCi software config???

I'm currently running a 400MHz SunPCi card. The card has been installed
inside a Sun Ultra 5 with Solaris 8. Since I've configured the system, and
I'm running Windows 98, I have not been able to access the floppy drive from
the Windows 98 session. The floppy works great from Solaris 8. It's just
that Windows 98 will not access the floppy. Does anyone know how I may
configure the SunPCi software to allow Windows 98 to recognize the floppy?

Thank you,
Christopher Smiga
