Thanks for any help. 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.
