This may occur only in our system...

If not, try to add a single line just below the line
	p = malloc(strlen(disk) + 4); /* disk + "ctl" + nul */;
in opendisk() function of /sys/src/libdisk/disk.c file.   The line is
	strcpy(p, disk);

PS.
judging from the last ';' in the "p = line", I might have done bad to this file
here.  If so, I'm sorry to have made noise.

disk/format -b /386/pbs -df /dev/fd0disk /386/9load /386/plan9.ini will die
such
format 743: suicide: sys: trap: fault read addr=0xcafebabe pc=0x00004d6e.

Acid tells me the format program is confusing floppy drive as hard disk drive...
