RE:Re: os-prober and fd0?

I have made a new installation via "Final TC2 DVD iso" (4.2GB). First checked my BIOS settings. Found "Boot Up Floppy Seek" enabled, but I also don't have a Floppy. Setting to "disabled" shows now the time for "bootloader installieren" (German Language) of about 15 min instead of about half an hour.

Ah, that might explain why someone else posted saying it was taking half
an hour for them. Nice catch. It does seem reasonable for fd0 to be
excluded from os-prober. The way to achieve this, though, is to file a
bug report. Could you do that? Thanks.
