Otherwise your floppy has a bad block on it.  You need to reformat it,
and if that doesn't fix it, use a new floppy.

fd0c = floppy disk slice 'c'
fsbn = file system block number.

I can't decode the status words returned by the floppy controller
without books or code in front of me.  Maybe someone will elaborate
on exactly what your floppy controller doesn't like about your
floppy, since I can't figure out what "abmrnl" is supposed to be an
abbreviation for.
