Bug#549905: grub seeks the floppy at boot time

Roberto Lumbreras rover at debian.org

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal

Yes, I've a floppy connected to my computer, and grub2 tries to read it every
time at boot time, making noise.

I've tried to re-run the grub-install --no-floppy with no results; --no-floppy
seems to appear everywhere in config files, so I'm puzzled.

Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras
