Comment 334 for bug 441835

György,

Appreciate and understand your comment...
I wonder if it would be possible to have a configuration parameter ("detect_floppy") that can be manually set by a user?
This parameter would be false by default, bypassing accessing the controller during boot.
Users who want floppy support could set it to true, and the controller access routine would be executed during boot.
(Perhaps this parameter may be configurable through gconf-editor?)
