To disable fd0 permanently

Hello Team,

Would you please let me know how do we disable fd0 permanently? I run nmon utility periodically using cron job and since it scans fd0 also it throws below error in logs.

blk_update_request: i/o error, dev fd0, sector 0

So , I want fd0 to be disabled permanently, I ran the following command but it disables temporarily until the server gets rebooted.

modprobe -r floppy

Your help will be appreciated.
