This is the direct consequence for fixing floppies in the first place (bug 441835). We have absolutely no way of poking the floppy controller whether there is actually a floppy behind it, as this causes hard freezes of about 20 seconds if there is none. Thus, we can either skip floppies entirely (but see the very vocal arguments on bug 441835), or show floppies if the BIOS tells us there is one.
Between a rock and a hard place, and I think the current behaviour is better.
