Hi!
I'm curious, is it intentional that, if you select
NFS support and NFS Root support, that the fact, that
no nfs is available, or selected via boot options,
automatically leads to a floppy boot?
I would suggest the following trivial patch, to give
the kernel compiler a chance to disable this 'feature'.
please correct me if I'm talking nonsense ...
best,
Herbert
