How to disable floppy drive?

A more complicated answer as I have a laptop with no floppy drive.

  1. Edit /etc/fstab to remove reference to floppy.

  2. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add this line at the end:

    install floppy /bin/false
    
  3. Run: sudo update-initramfs -u

  4. Run: sudo update-grub

  5. Reboot.


Go into the bios and shut it off.
