Bug Description
I am having a problem accessing the system floppy drive. First off it is not detected by the kernel. Second, if I do a sudo modprobe floppy followed by sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 it will the allow access to the floppy drive. I use the floppy drive to keep backups of my bookmarks and contact list in evolution on it. Is this going to be fixed before the final release of 8.10..........
