Yeah, it falls back to the ordinary probing if anything fails.
Can you send me (privately if you want, or fpaste) the dmesg of the
machine?

I switched to the -62 kernel and /dev/fd0 was NOT created. (I wanted
to make
sure I hadn't put something on that machine to make the floppy available
at boot.)
So the patch looks good from the perspective of people who have floppies.
I think I can test it on a machine that doesn't have a floppy drive
tomorrow.
