This problem is present on all devices supported by the ide-floppy driver. It won't be fixed until the ide-probe patch makes it into the official kernel. At that point the /dev/discs/... entry for the drive will appear at boot time even without media present in the drive.
However, without my other media change handling patches, the partition entries inside the /dev/discs/... directory for the floppy drive will not stay in sync terribly well when you make media changes.
