My Sid installation was getting these messages recently and I don't
even /have/ a floppy drive. I found the boot sequence in the BIOS had
somehow been re-set to attempt booting from floppy first. Did I
accidentally re-set it, myself? Don't know. Re-setting the BIOS to
disable floppy booting solved it.
