The floppy is designed for a Quadra 950 (it is the install me first of
A/UX 3.0 actually) I double checked this by inserting it in a mac
classic (the mac did start up and bombed after asking for an FPU).
Now, what I don't understand is that there is no question mark in all of
this, the X is displayed as soon as the machine is turned on, even if
there is no floppy in the drive... :-(

Hmmm. Well, "the book" says:
During system
startup, disk ejects;
display shows icon
with blinking "X"
1 Replace disk with known-good system disk.
2 Clear parameter RAM. Hold down <Command> <Option> <P>
<R> during startup but before "Welcome To Macintosh"
appears.
3 Replace floppy drive cable.
4 Replace internal floppy drive.
5 Replace logic board. Retain customer's SIMMs.
