Subject:   Boot floppy probing of ft works, built kernel doesn't...

I have 1 floppy drive and 1 floppy tape drive in my Pentium 166.  The 2.2.1
boot floppy correctly recognizes the fd and the ft devices I have but the
kernel I have installed with the following options:

controller	fdc0	at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk		fd0	at fdc0 drive 0
disk		fd1	at fdc0 drive 1
tape		ft0	at fdc0 drive 1

tells me I have two floppy drives:

Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fdc0: NEC 72065B
Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
Apr 22 10:24:02 pc-servicej-esg /kernel: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in

My question is in two parts:

  a) Why is the ft device being recognized by the boot floppy kernel and not
     this one?

  b) Would I have the actual boot floppy kernel sources buried in /usr/src
     somewhere so I can compare?

Thanks
