I noticed this after upgrading to Feisty. Not sure if it was there before the upgrade. I have an old IBM Thinkpad with a port on the side for an external floppy drive, which is probably where this is coming from ("perhaps representing a floppy drive controller without an actual floppy drive attached"). I do see a /sys/block/fd0/.

"The real bug here seems to be that the device node used is "/dev/"; I fixed this bug in list-devices a little while ago upstream"

To fix this manually, should this line be removed? Or changed to /dev/fd0 or something? Will removing the line prevent me from ever using the external floppy? (Not that I'm ever going to use a floppy in 2007, but it would be best to do it correctly...) :-)
