Bug#726655: [PATCH] floppy: Correct documentation of driver options when used as a module.



From: Ben Harris <bjh21@cam.ac.uk>

The options have to be passed space-separated and prefixed by "floppy=", rather than separately and unprefixed.

This fixes <http://bugs.debian.org/726655>.

 ============================

  If you use the floppy driver as a module, use the following syntax:
-modprobe floppy <options>
+modprobe floppy floppy="<options>"

 Example:
- modprobe floppy omnibook messages
+ modprobe floppy floppy="omnibook messages"

  If you need certain options enabled every time you load the floppy driver,
 you can put:

- options floppy omnibook messages
+ options floppy floppy="omnibook messages"

 in a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/.
