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

VMs use a vNIC on ovirtmgmt logical network. There should be nothing to do with the engine itself.

It was working fine for us after we are able to load the drivers properly.

I created the VM and loaded the CD rom with the windows install ISO and in the "run once" settings I chose the virtio-win selection as a floppy.
