I persume something is trying to access the system's
floppy disk drive that does not exist. But I have
been unable to identify what's triggering all this
activity.
Any suggestions?
Any chance you have something like automount/autofs set up with
a mountpoint for the floppy device?

Certainly not intentionally. And nothing in /etc/auto.* to
suggest so. Also:
$ systemctl status autofs.service
● autofs.service - Automounts filesystems on demand
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/autofs.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
On my two Fedora systems I get "autofs.service not found".
Perhaps it is masked there.
