Hello John!

I think there isn't any floppy-support in the current distribution.
Mostly because no one try to write a driver for the floppy and if someone
will use the routines in ROM, it will destroy the multitasking of NetBSD.

But I think it is better to have floppy-support with bad multitasking,
because it is only a short time, when i read or write to a floppy, than
having no support at all.
Maybe the floppy-support with ROM-routines is inacceptable for a firewall
or a fileserver, but it doesn't matter if i use the NetBSD as a standalone
workstation.

If i were able to do that, i would try to do that work.
