Comments/Problems:
I installed with the expert option, because after installing without
it, i needed some more control over the install process. (looking at
the modules list, i hope for future support of all kinds of things :)
The grub install process doesn't check or ask for the grub-install --no-floppy option, because of this on my laptop (without floppydrive) the installer hangs on Running "grub-install (hd0)"
(hangs == waiting for about 5/10 mins)
A question about the use of --no-floppy would be really helpfull for laptop owners or people without a floppy drive.

- Pass --no-floppy to grub-install, to avoid long delays/hangs
probing for floppy disks on some floppy-less systems.
Closes: #220130, #238449, #239019
- Add a is_floppy check, which turns off the --no-floppy, in case someone
types (fd0).
