Re: AW: [Xen-users] Floppy support VMX domain

[Mario Bischof <mbischof@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, thanks for the reply,

I figured that out with the fda device, so booting from floppy is now  
possible.
But i want to have the floppy device accessible from windows in the  
domain.
So when i do "boot='c' " but leave the fda=/dev/fd0 in the config
It still tries to boot from floppy, and it says cant find image file  
on /dev/fd0.
If i dont insert a floppy it gives me a boot error floppy0.

Is that even possible to access floppy in a VT virtualizied windows?
