Hallo,

installed woody with booting from floppy - it takes 4 minutes to read 
the floppy. I hear the movement of the floppy some 20 seconds ...

Any idea how to fix ?
   

4 minutes to read a 1.44MB floppy?  That was dog slow even in 1990.

Have you looked in /var/log/syslog?  

here is th syslog with the time-gap even 5 minutes :

Nov  2 16:43:16 deba init: Switching to runlevel: 6
....
Nov  2 16:43:20 deba lwresd[201]: shutting down
Nov  2 16:43:20 deba lwresd[199]: exiting
Nov  2 16:43:20 deba kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
Nov  2 16:43:20 deba kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.
Nov  2 16:43:20 deba exiting on signal 15
Nov  2 16:48:21 deba syslogd 1.4.1#10: restart.

Did you hear the FDD clicking
and whining like it there's a bad sector on the disk?
 

there is no noise like bad sectors ...
