We're talking about the boot floppies, not a complete floppy-based install involving 50 floppies :-) Theres basically a choice between a floppy boot or CDROM boot, and I'd say a large percentage of installs use the former. Still, you have a point that after installation of the system the module is available on the hard disk and it can be kldloaded before adding any packages. If people are using sysinstall for post-install package addition (which I understand is also fairly popular) then it can do the same thing with the currently installed module.
