May or may not be available / practical to you
but: I have one old
machine still with a floppy and had that spin-up issue. The machine
is an old HP and there is an option in the BIOS to 'hide (device)
from OS'. The floppy was one of those 'device' options. 'Hiding'
the floppy from the OS solved the problem. Of course, if I need
the floppy I need to reboot and re-enable in the BIOS but that is
not a frequent problem, to say the
least.
I started doing that on several machines when in TW(a)13.2 I discovered
this: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=916773
"unexpected fd0/floppy messages on tty[1-6]"
