If you do not have a BIOS option for this, you can try this:

  echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf
  sudo update-initramfs -u

does that help after a reboot?

It'd still help if someone who is affected could provide me access to the box, via ssh or empathy remote desktop (<email address hidden>).
