The HP i2000 has a 120MB floppy (super-disk), but other than that it's
all with CD/DVD. Our current release build creates a floppy install
based on the fact that we have so far only seen super-disks and
assumes there's at least 5MB available, but I won't feel any pain if
that's going to be removed.

Since I don't expect to find a legacy floppy controller on ia64 at
all, we can can state that (legacy) floppy installs are not now and
not ever going to be supported on ia64 -- euh, by me :-)
