I'm not sure what this means. The floppy.o is not listed in the modules.conf file. The only items in that file are:

Can you tell me where the list of modules to be loaded are located? I
can't seem to find this on the internet anywhere.
Modules are loaded on demand by the kernel. You only need to put configuration for modules in modules.conf if they need it.
In your case I believe you were trying to prevent a module from being
loaded. This can usually be accomplished by putting the name of the
module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist .
Looking at "man modules.conf" we find: alias some_module off
will make modprobe ignore requests to load that module.
So presumably if you put alias floppy off in /etc/modules.conf it will do what you want. I would test that first.
