I was curious if there was any way to add a floppy image to one of my KVM environments. I'm consolidating some really old NT4.0 servers, some legacy software that clients use only runs on NT4.0 but one of the servers requires a floppy image to boot.

If you can provide any advice i'd appreciate it, i know KVM has support for it, but how do i add it to the KVM config file that PVE uses.

Thanks.

Well i already have 3 NT4.0 environments running. When we first virulized them we put them on vmware and i just converted the images. They are running great, no problems at all. The PCNET network card is recognized and as far as ide goes i had to change nothing it was compatible as soon as i did the conversion.
