>Description:

	Sometimes when booting from floppy, you cannot specify a 
	different kernel or boot device.  It just ignores your
	keystrokes.

	When I try to specify a different boot device, it only
	works around 1/4th of the time.   I have the same problem
	with NetBSD.

This is over a year old - is it still relevant?  I cannot reproduce 
the error myself.  If it still persists, please let me know and I'll 
reopen this PR.
