For older motherboards that require a floppy to update the BIOS, it's
easily done from a bootable floppy disk. Back in the days when I used
to run Windows, I always did it that way because I didn't trust having

As far as I can tell, all the bug reports regarding floppy disk drives
have been marked as duplicates of this one, and this is marked Fix

original description in this bug report. The icon for a floppy drive

@John Hart
This bug was about the floppy drive not detected on boot.
Giving sudo modprobe floppy (which loads floppy module) in a terminal was a
workaround to make it works.
If you tried using that command in a terminal and it didn't work, It's because
you have a different bug from this one.

My BIOS has the floppy drive selected, so it should know that a floppy
drive is present. Also my OS has loaded the floppy kernel on my desktop
