Someone here suggested that there could be an irq conflict. Below is dmesg from last boot. There are no conflicts that I can see. Any suggestions? How hard would it be to compile fdformat -g and execute it in the debugger. I have used adb and dbx on Solaris, but never the gnu stuff. I have all the kernel source, but do not see fdformat.c anyplace.
