I think I remember: By default, you have an empty floppy drive, and using

Also see from the qemu manpage:

Don't create default devices. Normally, QEMU sets the
default devices like serial port,
parallel port, virtual console, monitor device, VGA adapter,
floppy and CD-ROM drive and
others. The "-nodefaults" option will disable all those
default devices.
However if you specify that, you'll need to specify a whole load of
other args to create all those other devices.
I see someone once provided a patch to disable just the floppy:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg02928.html
... but as far as I can tell it didn't get applied.
