Hi All,

I am trying to attach floppy virtual image to Windows domU. Either it
is not attaching or domU is not showing floppy drive?

domU config:
1. disk = [ 'file:/root/xenwin.img,hda,w',
'file:/opt/Windows-Xp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r',
'file:/root/win-boot.img,fd:floppy,r' ]
    boot = "cda"

In above format the window domU is booting but not showing floppy disk.

2. disk = [ 'file:/root/xenwin.img,hda,w',
'file:/opt/Windows-Xp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r',
'file:/root/win-boot.img,fd0:floppy,r' ]
    boot = "cda"

In this domU does not boot and throw an error "Enable to find device
number (fd0)"

I have googled a lot but I could not see anyone with proper solution.

Any hint/suggestion will be really helpful

Thanks in advance.

Tej
