Adding Floopy Disk to VM

[dzil_jalal]

I have a novell netware that will be licensed by a floopy drive.
So. I create one netware vm.
How can I add this floopy drive to my VM?
Any suggest ?

Hi,
the easiest way is to copy your floopy disk to a flopy.img.

then use qm showcmd <vmid>

now add to the output of this comand -fda /path_to_floopy/flopy.img
and execute it.

I did this in this way:
- add a 2nd CD-drive to the netware VM
- burn the license key (and nw5-idle.nlm - you need it, too) into a iso image.
- create the dos partition with the netware CD and assign it to the 2nd CD-ROM drive
- download freedos and boot
- copy the files to C:\
Now you can reboot from the netware CD and you have access to the files.
