So just to confirm all the options when I'm setting up the VM. This is
Windows Server 2019 so I'm selecting:
- General:Operating System = Windows 2019 x64
- System:Memory Size = 16GB
- System:Total Virtual CPUs = 8
- BootOptions:First Device = CD-ROM
- BootOptions:Second Device = Hard Disk
Then in the Run Once config I'm attaching both the floppy and CD as well as
updating the predefined boot sequence.
When I installed the virtio-win package there are multiple VFD files in
/usr/share/virtio-win/. I'm assuming the win_amd64.vfd version is for
non-server Windows installs so I picked virtio-win_servers_amd64.vfd.
Assuming that's all ok, it just seems to be a strange permissions issue...
