I seem to have the fix for this problem - it works for me anyway. Would
you like me to send details to fix it ?

Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Trying out intrepid daily-live: There is no floppy in "Computer" and no "/dev/fd0. The "floppy" module has not been loaded. This is maybe a bug in initramfs-tools or udev, but I file it here for now.

WORKAROUND: add "floppy" to /etc/modules, for instance this way:
 echo "floppy" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
