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

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

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

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, Cristian

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
