We do have a driver for PC floppy drives :
http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/disk/floppy/pc_floppy
it's even in the image.
It's possible that it doesn't fully work yet though.
It could be that Tracker doesn't like the way it's publishing devices.

Does it publish anything in /dev/disk/floppy ?
