ssh to ESXi, to find and edit [VM].vmx file
Typically in the following path: /vmfs/volumes/[DATASTORE]/[VM]
Edit [VM].vmx]
Set floppy0.present = "FALSE"
Even that did not stop the errors…. until:
Start the VM, Login, See the errors:
sudo rmmod floppy
sudo echo "blacklist-floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf
