Great!!  :)
It really works!

I modified /boot/grub/menu.lst by substituting the line

  # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro

with the line

  # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro pnpbios=off

and then issued the command "update-grub".
After a reboot I was able to "modprobe floppy", to mount a floppy disk
and accessing it flawlessly.


Thanks for investigating and providing this workaround!
Bye!  :)
