As of linux-2.6.0-test2-ia64-030729, there is no asm-ia64/floppy.h,
and so the fd driver won't work. Other architectures have various
legacy floppy controllers, but ia64 does not have one and is never
likely to.

There is no reason to ever have CONFIG_FD on ia64, but if it does get
turned on then the build will fail. Therefore, I suggest this patch
to keep it off:

If you want to use the floppy disk drive(s) of your PC under Linux,
say Y. Information about this driver, especially important for IBM
