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

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.
