I have been playing with an 2004 vintage P4 machine which
similarly hangs at probing floppy... but after a long time,
perhaps 30 secs it continues.

Have you tried waiting for this long?

Have you tried Erik's alternative distribution:
ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/plan9.iso.bz2

It has subtly different drivers and might suit your machine better.
