   The server is not mine.  After it stopped booting because of   
   the floppy error, the administrator removed the floppy from   
   the virtual machine, but the error persisted.  Then he added   
   it back.

   How can I test it without booting the machine -- using some   
   LiveCD?   
      
   >If you don't, make sure the BIOS doesn't list it.   
      
   In the Boot menu I have:   
      
      - Removable Devices   
         Legacy Floppy Drives   
      
   I am not sure it counts as listing that specific floppy.   
      
   After the administrator disabled the floppy controller in   
   BIOS, the boot process hung at:   
      
      sd 30:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through   
      sd 30:0:1:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through   
      
   We are still waiting.
