Ultras are known to have problems with floppy drives.
SS10s usually work fine. On mine it's is quite happy with Solaris, Linux
2.2.x, 2.4.x, NetBSD, OpenBSD.
The first question to me would be whether the floppy works in the first
place.
What happens with a boot floppy (with a bootable image) from the openprom?
