I think we should leave it around.  Even if one can't boot from a
floppy, it can still be really handy to have your local.cfg there.

It's also possible to put SSH keys on a floppy if you're using SSH as
the transport.

We can do that, but let's keep local.cfg around for now.  local.cfg can
also be read from the root of a pre-existing system if it is being
re-installed (don't think this code is used very often these days
though).

I definitly agree with adding the --no-floppy option to grub.

Cheers, -Brian
