I'm not sure why blkid returns an error if fd0 is missing; I guess the problem may be that floppies are not really probeable -- i.e. the only way to tell if they are there is to go and read from them.

At any rate, there's an easy big hammer, which is blacklisting the floppy module during the commissioning run, or we could be more subtle and not really mind blkid's return code.
