ISTR we disabled floppy support completely in debian in order to avoid this
kind of trouble (I would disable it in official GRUB as well, but I can
already feel there'd be some opposition :-)).
Anyway, my point is that floppies are too unreliable. We detect them when
iterating even if they're not readable. Perhaps we could actually probe them
for read during iteration to solve this.
