[Gllug] vmware ate my floppy drive

[Rev Simon Rumble]

Disclaimer: My copy of VMWare is currently broken: has a panic every
time I try to run it on my heavily patched kernel.  Haven't tracked it
down yet.  I also don't have a floppy drive...

Under the Devices menu in VMWare, you should be able to disable that
device.  With other devices like sound and the CDROM drive, you can do
exactly that.
