Ok I have prepared a modified initramfs-tools to prevent the floppy module ending up on there. Could those of you who are seeing these 1 minute delays in boot install this and test boot (please remember to remove any blacklist for this test). Please report your experiences here. The modified initramfs-tools can be found here:
