[ovirt-users] Windows 10 floppy not found during setup

[Vincent Royer]

Thanks I tried it and it did in fact work.  Just threw me off because all
the instructions say to load the floppy.

My windows install got right up to the point where it was loading the NICs,
and then it all came crashing down.  I expected the VMs and the engine to
be able to share the same NIC, but I suppose it doesn't work that way.
