Bug Description
The floppy module tries to probe for a floppy device but fails. This adds on average 7 seconds of boot time to Ubuntu (all versions). It's a trivial fix to blacklist the module.
$ echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.
$ sudo update-initramfs -u

The new plan is to remove the floppy device from the GCP kernel.
