A bit of research is yielding predictable results: Your hardware is lying to
the kernel and the kernel believes it. Ubuntu's installer runs into this
problem, Red Hat's installer runs into this problem. In both cases the advice
has been to just disable it in the BIOS and to modify the installation
environment to ignore the floppy drive.
I'm inclined to follow their leads. The problem with devices this old is that
there's no real way to probe it. I'm not sure the kernel actually *can* do
anything differently. I'll keep myself on the CC and bounce back to
installation. We must be able to stop probing the floppy driver during
installation somehow.
