What happens when you stop vold, and try to read from the PS/2 floppy
using dd?
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
# dd if=/dev/rdiskette of=/dev/null bs=18k
Does that report I/O errors?
It does, sort of.
bash-3.00# dd if=/dev/rdiskette of=/dev/null bs=18k
dd: /dev/rdiskette: open: No such file or directory
So, as far as Solaris is concerned, there is no floppy drive at all.
It has worked fine before switching to new ACPI architecture.
Please check /var/adm/messages for errors.
I see quite a few acpica related messages (this is nevada b17) at boot
time, here they are:

etc etc etc. The whole file is 230KB long, too long to be posted here and
is available at http://www.cvele.net/private/messages.0
I'll delete the file in a day or two if you don't need it.
I don't see any messages related to the floppy problem at the time I was
accessing it. This is the same machine that had problems with PS/2 based mouse
and keyboard and I had to switch to USB based ones.
Juergen, there is nothing about fdc (or fd) in prtconf -p output:
bash-3.00# prtconf -p | grep -i fd
bash-3.00#
Bye, Dragan
