My original posting included one question about floppy drive
malfunction, and one about using Sun CD-ROM together with adaptec 1542b
loading the bsd386 software.

Several people (thank you!) has correctly  pointed out that I most
certanly had the two floppy drives enabled on the same address space. This
was correct, disabling the original floppydrive solved that problem.

I've only got warnings combining the adaptec scsi-adapter and sun CD-ROM.
One told me that I'll probably  would need a special CDROM driver, and 
others have told me that  the early Sun CDROM's is not quite `SCSI`.
