This happens because casper (in the initrd mountroot() function) looks for the live CD on all block devices, including the floppy drive (somewhat unnecessary).

A workaround is to boot with "break=mount" and then when you have get the text prompt (press Enter to see it, because device detection messages hide it), type:
 rmmod floppy
 exit

Does this workaround for everybody?
