Nope.. This is a bad interaction between the new warning message in anna
and sven's new powerpc root-2 floppy hack. Now anna will complain if any
one floppy full of udebs does not happen to contain a kernel module.
Good for regular driver floppies, but not for this one, which, AIUI,
does not contain any drivers at all, only a few udebs that apparently
don't fit anywhere else.

IMHO, this hack should go away, or someone will need to write some code
to explcitly deal with it by prompting the user for this floppy and
bypassing the check in anna..
