Thanks; with your patch I had no problem loading the floppy module on my
uniprocessor Intel(tm) F00Fium Classic system. The driver seems to work,
too:
# fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
Double-sided, 80 tracks, 18 sec/track. Total capacity 1440 kB.

# mkswap /dev/fd0H1440
Setting up swapspace, size = 1470464 bytes
# swapon /dev/fd0H1440
Adding Swap: 1436k swap-space (priority -2)
# swapoff /dev/fd0H1440
# fdformat /dev/fd0H1722
Double-sided, 82 tracks, 21 sec/track. Total capacity 1722 kB.

I'm curious, though, why the swap signature is apparently so large. 6 kB
seems like more space than is needed to store the phrase "SWAP-SPACE" in.
