I'm new to qemu. By "add a qtest case" you mean update tests/fdc-test.c ?

Well, you are right. Than we have to set 'max_track' even if there is no 
media. I tested this on bare-metal without media and where floppy driver 
ask to seek to specific track, it ends good and return specific track 
position as actual.
I'll rewrite this behavior and send patch v2.
