   Understood.  I remember finding a reference to the removed   
   swap device in that archive, but then I thought the archive   
   was come kind of backup and decided to keep that entry.   
      
   Now that one of the servers has stopped booting after   
      
                 dracut --regenerate-all --force   
      
   because it tries to access a floppy drive, can I try maybe   
   to modify the archive manually in order to remove the   
   reference to this non-existent or inacessible device?
