Once upon a time, Simo Sorce <simo(a)redhat.com> said:
Making boot hang for long periods can easily be seen as 'Not
working
properly' and therefore make default floppy support 'not possible'.
At least this is the reasoning I see and agree with.
How many systems are there that "hang forever" when the floppy module is
loaded? I have never seen that happen, on systems with or without
floppy drives, yet you seem to be saying it happens on vast numbers of
them (99.9% in an earlier message).
