Thanks to all who responded: The consensus is that the "fdc" message
is from the floppy disk driver, and since the ELC doesn't ahve a floppy,
that message comes out at boot-time. Removing the FDC driver from the
kernel will elminate the message and save a bit of memory.
Thanks much to the many people who responded:
