[PATCH v2] fdc: fix floppy boot for Red Hat Linux 5.2


From: John Snow
Subject: [PATCH v2] fdc: fix floppy boot for Red Hat Linux 5.2
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2021 14:10:10 -0400

The image size indicates it's an 81 track floppy disk image, which we
don't have a listing for in the geometry table. When you force the drive
type to 1.44MB, it guesses the reasonably close 18/80. When the drive
type is allowed to auto-detect or set to 2.88, it guesses a very
incorrect geometry.

auto, 144 and 288 drive types get the right geometry with the new entry
in the table.

V2: I didn't actually stage this, so this is just a re-send to get a
fresh Message-ID to reference in the PR. Added Thomas's R-B.
