fdc0: cmd 08 failed at in byte 1 of 1

The title is not a spelling mistake, I copied it off the screen while the system was booting.

Any ideas on what this means? It's booting 13.0-RELEASE i386 on an old ThinkPad T30 which may well be having hardware problems.
 
The other was an unrelated thread and involved a USB floppy disk drive.

Here I'm just checking an old machine (ThinkPad T30) which is throwing out errors I've never seen.
 
Does the laptop actually have a floppy drive? If it doesn't have one turn off the floppy controller in the BIOS. There's no reason why it should detect and enable fdc(4).
