I think viagra is the best cure for a floppy module
Does this actually halt the boot process? On my little laptop that doesnt have a floppy drive and I get the same response (or a similar one) but it does not affect the bootup at all, it's just a line of output during the boot.
I dont know if you can do anything about that other than to recompile the kernel and see if you can remove support for a floppy drive, but I dont think that you can as the OS preserves the ability to use a floppy as a recovery precaution.
