	Install onto SCSI 486/66.

>Description:

	Panic if you absentmindedly exclude the floppy disk controller
	when tossing assorted Adaptec, Ultrastore, IDE and who knows
	what devices. ;-)

>How-To-Repeat:

	In the visual kernel configuration hit 'delete' on the
	floppy disk controller.

>Fix:

	Perhaps protect the floppy disk controller like the PCI stuff?
	It doesn't make sense to exclude it when you have just booted
	from it!

State-Changed-Why:  
This has been fixed as a side-effect of rev 1.29 of sys/i386/isa/ft.c 
(or 1.27.2.2 in the 2.2 branch).
