waiting for a non existant floppy



hello,

i'm installing debian with lenny installer rc2 on a computer without floppy disk. the installation is done in text mode. when the installer search for disks it "hangs" for a minute or so and there's no message. in the debug console (alt+f4) appear a couple of messages with something like:

kernel: end_request: i/o error, dev fd0, sector 0.

since i think that having a blank monitor during a minute is too much time for new/unexperienced users, this should be improved maybe showing a message (and/or a progress bar) saying "looking for disks. this may take a while..."

thanks.
