Eben,
Thanks, that helped. I did as you said and found this :
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:load_module floppy
which I had looked at earlier, but wasnt sure if that was where I wanted
to modify it; commented out loud_module floppy and that seems to have
done it. If youd like to see the new bootchart, which shows that on the
new bootchart modprob floppy isnt happening. Thanks for the help.
