Great!! :)
It really works!
I modified /boot/grub/menu.lst by substituting the line
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
with the line
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro pnpbios=off
and then issued the command "update-grub".
After a reboot I was able to "modprobe floppy", to mount a floppy disk
and accessing it flawlessly.
Thanks for investigating and providing this workaround!
Bye! :)
