ide-floppy is not likely to do anyone any good, since it does not work
with the currently used drivers for most PATA (IDE) interfaces.
Starting with Debian 6.0 'squeeze', ATAPI floppy drives should be
handled by the sd driver, which is already included in the installer.

Mark, please confirm whether or not the 'squeeze' installer supports
these drives.
