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

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

Does the floppy image needs to be 1.5MB, or can it take any size?

Hi,
Sorry, but I couldn't find anything related on how to add floppy images to
the virtual machines.
Any pointers on where to look?
Best regards

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

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
Here is my experience:
- 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.
The file was created like this:
head -c 50000000 /dev/zero > myimage.vfd
mkfs.vfat myimage.vfd
mount myimage.vfd /mnt/floppy/
mount myimage.vfd /mnt/floppy/
-- copy desired file to the floppy
- 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.
- You don't need the floppy thing after all: the cdrom can be swapped at
install time with the one that has the drivers.
Best regards,
Cristian
