   FDD is being detected and 'floppy' kernel module (driver) is   
   being loaded and part of its initialization procedure is to   
   check for floppy disk presence in the drive.  It should not   
   stop the boot process, it's just information that floppy disk   
   could not be read -- because it's not there, I guess…   
      
   I stopped it by adding a line 'blacklist floppy' to   
   /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf and running 'mkinitrd' (again ;-) ).
