Bug#282063: --no-floppy doesn't prevent probing of floppy

reopen 282063

thanks

I was able to reproduce this bug here on my ThinkPad 23 without a
floppy drive inserted. Although I can see /sbin/grub --batch
--no-floppy in the ps aux outout, grub-install hangs and the kernel
prints messages like "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0".

Since the floppy will be probed multiple times for each stage1_5 file,
grub-install takes ages on my system, which makes grub-install quite
unusable here.

Regards,
Tino
