I've been using a floppy boot disk as reserve if my HD boot fails, But it appears floppy support as now been removed. Why? Then how can I create an emergency media that is flexible enough to be updated as required?

I would suggest changing to pen drives. They are potentially much larger than floppies in capacity and most machines have extra places to insert them.
OT - If anyone is intrigued by the Windows 7 with Touch Screen and Web Cam capabilities here is a tip. You need 5 usb ports for the various gadgets, and my Dell came with 4 on the back of the machine. Inserting a usb hub caused the machine to crash.

Just this very day I have successfully set up 2 pendrives to boot GRUB and all the explanations I could find made the process appear harder than it actually is/was. To be honest, it was easier than floppies.
