It would be easy to extend the existing awk scripts to support more than one driver floppy. Some environments or platforms may still have a use for them, and it doesn't cause us much pain to continue to support this configuration. I'd certainly appreciate it if Ruslan or anyone else updates driver-*.awk and src/release/Makefile to generalize our driver floppy mechanism. I talked about this with Ruslan and possibly others months ago. I think we've known for a while that we'd need to generalize this sooner or later. - Murray
