David, you're welcome to move another one.  sysinstall will load it
automatically and it works fine -- what does the user care whether the
driver is statically compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module?
This is different from removing drivers from dokern.sh -- the driver
is still available, just on the 2nd floppy instead of the 1st.
