Details

When booting without any fdd physically, there is about 2 sec delay devoted for fd0 lookup. This is probably due to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD beeing set to y, not m. If that was set to module, it would probably be possible to switch it off from within mkinitcpio.conf and thus save some seconds on boot.
This task depends upon

Same here. What's the problem then? My laptop doesn't even have an option to connect flppy via fdd controller (only via USB, but it appears as USB storage device then). I don't really have any idea how could that be hardware related :(

With the recent 2.6.18 this problem doesn't exist. I guess that's because floppy is now a module, as I suggested. Thanks!
