When booting current FACTORY, my T41p hangs for a few seconds at one point
apparently waiting for some timeouts from fd0.

This does not happen with 10.3 on the same machine.

The boot log contains:

  <6>Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
  <6>FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306

  <3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
  <3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
  <3>Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
  <3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
  <3>Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0

Not sure why anything would try to access a floppy, and it's entirely
possible this is not a kernel issue, but it's hard to tell from here. :-(
