It\s funny to see someone bothered about a floppy.
Anyway I think EDK(?) should have some way to not wait for seconds or minutes 
for unsupported or absent devices.
IDE DVD - timeout 35seconds even no disk inserted
Bluetooth - 28seconds to wait even no devices found to pair
Floppy - ? even it is absent at all
Is there any regular way to avoid scanning of such devices?
