(Get the code!)
Since this is appearing on purely physical machines (not just VMWare) - it seems to be an issue with the way Ubuntu deals with what appears in the BIOS.
I went into the VM machine's BIOS and [Disabled] the reference to the [Disabled] the Floppy A. Now a Floppy no longer appears in the list of Linux Devices.
Could it appear that somewhere during the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 the code was modified to enhance performance of the boot up process. Maybe somewhere in there Ubuntu now accepts that there is actually a floppy hardware device there just cause BIOS says so - without actually testing to see if there is one ?
That's my best guess, anyway -
