The log doesn't show anything weird at all as far as I can see.
When exactly were there floppy probes occurring?
I was looking at lines like this and I assumed they were floppy
accesses:
Sep 16 01:52:24 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Am I confused?
OK, missed them first.
Some of them happen during the HW detection stage, which is
essentially impossible to avoid. Probing for a floppy disk at this
stage is essential.
Some occur during the partitioning stage. Here, I'll have a less
strong advice so I'll let other D-I contributors give precisions or
details about why partman is probing the fd0 device (which obviously
adds delays on your floppyless system).
