What bug was it?

I tryed to boot the Hurd system delivered on the FreeX 4'00 CD. It
stops after printing. "fd0: is a post-1991 ...." (or something like
this). I don't have any floppy-drive in my box (who need such old
stuff ;-)??)

Have I triggered the bug mentioned above? Will it help to use a newer
kernel?
