I'm not sure if the device will work without it, but if you're experiencing issues (which you are), you might try providing the installer with the firmware. Instructions for doing so can be found here <https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware#Firmware_during_the_installation>.

If not, consider disabling it in the BIOS. The errors above aren't necessarily a problem, but may slow things down while the installer looks for a floppy disc. If you disable the floppy drive in the BIOS, then the installer will know to not even try. If you DO have a floppy drive plugged in, then these errors are simply the result of there not being a disk in the drive (they'd also appear with a bad disc, but I don't think you can really tell the difference with a floppy). Not necessarily a solution, but a couple of things for you to try.
