The message seems to be generated in /boot/grub/biosdisk.mod from this format string:

%s read error

And it *is* probing an empty floppy drive. I only get this error since I enabled the floppy controller to be able to read some ancient software from floppies. I forgot to test with a medium in the drive. But the message will probably go away.

Does GRUB2 think it is running from that floppy? I see no other reason why GRUB2 would read the floppy except when it thinks it is a hard disk. But then I don't understand why it is referring to fd0 instead of hd<n>.
