Floppy

[Theodor]

Hello, I need to simulate and test with an Win NT 3.5 workstation env. I see I need a floppy to boot on and the floppy images are .img. How can I add floppy drives to a VM in Proxmox 4.4?

Win NT cannot not run on qemu/kvm.

Win NT cannot not run on qemu/kvm.

Thats not right. It can! Not in PVE directly, only on qemucmd. But i must say, i had it running for about 6 years... so don't really know if that is running on actual qemu.

In any case, its not a supported OS on Proxmox VE.

Adding something like this to your args-entry in your VM configuration:

-drive file=/path/to/floppy.vdf,if=floppy,index=0
