Yes, I've outed myself as a Linux n00b. See Englebart quote below. :)

No such option, in my case; it just says 'disabled' in the BIOS but
it's grayed out.

At any rate, I just tried:

floppy=0,16,cmos
floppy=0,16

... neither of which had any effect whatsoever.

Has anyone actually tried this and had it work, or have any other ideas?
