This is just the detected (and AFAIK) supported floppy drive.
This is AFAIK no error message.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your problem/question. The
installer for Debian GNU/Hurd runs on GNU/Linux. I do not
see how this is related to the floppy drive driver in GNUMach.

GNUMach (that is where the drivers the Hurd uses are in) supports
both PCI and IDE (but no shared IRQs). You can easely install Debian
GNU/Hurd from GNU/Linux by crossinstalling. There are two ways to do this:

- Untarring the base packages manually to a ext2 partition.

Please read the Hurd install guide because installing without it seems almost
impossible to me ;)

Tarball:

- Using the crossinstall (Debian) package.


I hope this helps you, if not please give me more info about your problem
because it wasn't clear not me.
