This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.263

---------------
casper (1.263) natty; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Suppress Log Out item in the live session (LP: #750140).

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * scripts/casper-helpers, find_cow_device(): Do not ever probe floppy
    devices. There are lots of computers which still have a floppy controller
    (and thus a /dev/fd0), but no actual floppy. Trying to send anything to
    /dev/fd0 will result in very long timeouts. Here this causes booting the
    live CD to take more than 30 minutes. (See also LP #539515 for the
    corresponding bug in udev/udisks). (LP: #739774)
