I stopped hw-detect from loading floppy on newworld systems ages ago.
However, Sven's images (used by the sid_d-i CDs) are broken: according
to the initrd.list files, they include an ancient version of hw-detect,
namely 0.86, which dates from mid-April. This puzzles me because the
build logs appear to say that it's doing the right thing. Sven, could
you please look into this? If it's too hard to fix, I have a daily build
running now and we could make the sid_d-i images use mine instead for
the time being.

What sort of keyboard is it?

We can certainly arrange that, but I'm not feeling very well today so
let's try a couple of rounds of information-gathering first. :)
