Perhaps. We're talking about the boot floppies, not a complete
floppy-based install involving 50 floppies :-) Theres basically a
choice between a floppy boot or CDROM boot, and I'd say a large
percentage of installs use the former.

Still, you have a point that after installation of the system the
module is available on the hard disk and it can be kldloaded before
adding any packages. If people are using sysinstall for post-install
package addition (which I understand is also fairly popular) then it
can do the same thing with the currently installed module.
