It doesn't work because he didn't specify all of the hints, so the fd0 "device"
that he has in his hints file isn't a perfect match to the fd0 device that
comes from the PnP BIOS.  If he specifies all the resources like the normal
hints file then it should work fine, I think.  Though as Mike points out, it
doesn't change the fact that the IRQ is already allocated off to something else.
