Hi,<br>
<br>
Sorry, but I couldn't find anything related on how to add floppy images<br>

Any pointers on where to look?<br>

stand on a VM and click run-once, under boot options<br>

Does the floppy image needs to be 1.5MB, or can it take any size?<br>
<br>
<br>
i suggest checking :)<br>

Using a virtual floppy is probably the easiest way and it's<br>
well<br>
supported in the UI and API.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
Can I somehow attach a second cdrom device to a virtual<br>
machine?<br>
I was thinking on adding the virtio drivers for Windows<br>
OSs this<br>
way.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Cristian<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Hi,<br><br>Thank you for your answer.<br><br>Here is my experience:<br><br>- It seems that Windows will only see the first 1.4MB (or so) from the floppy, even if I attach a bigger file: it was seeing only a few files from the first directory.<br>
The file was created like this:<br>head -c 50000000 /dev/zero > myimage.vfd<br>mkfs.vfat myimage.vfd<br>mount myimage.vfd /mnt/floppy/<br>mount myimage.vfd /mnt/floppy/<br>-- copy desired file to the floppy<br><br><br>
- It looks that there are no WHQL amd64 drivers (Windows 7 at least didn't accept the drivers). I had to load the i386 ones for the installer.<br><br>- You don't need the floppy thing after all: the cdrom can be swapped at install time with the one that has the drivers.<br>
<br>Best regards,<br>Cristian<br><br></div>
