I agree with blackend@ that it should not just be removed, since floppy images of i386, amd64, pc98, and sparc64 for 7.3 and 7.4-= RELEASE are also available. I also agree with eadler@ that floppy is not a primary installation me= dia. How about moving the text to chapter 2.13 (Preparing Your Own Installation Media) like CDROM images?
