Yes, this is correct.

The specific section ID that is concerned is labeled
"install-boot-media", which is a relief since the floppy section does
not have its own specific section.

My real concern before removing this section is anything that will cause
inconsistency, such as "See <xref="install-boot-media"> for
${something_floppy_specific}."

Thanks in advance if you can do this - it is appreciated!
