| |
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/.
