If you've altered your kernel configuration from GENERIC, you may want to
check that file also.  You really shouldn't have to do any other
configuration for a floppy if it's included in the kernel, and you really
shouldn't need the above line in your kern.conf file.  Check for typos, and
compare what you've got to the appropriate line in the LINT file.
