Use floppy disk and a second CDROM on KVM
Hi all, this patch will add 3 new KVM parameters and a new option. New Parameters: - floppy_image_path = "" -> Specify the floppy image to load as floppy disk. - cdrom2_image_path = "" -> Specify a second cdrom image to load on the system (note: this in not intended to be used as a boot device. To boot the system from cdrom you must use the "cdrom_image_path" parameter as always). - cdrom_disk_type = "" -> it can be one of the kvm supported types as "ide,scsi,paravirtual,ecc". I introduced this optional parameter to make possible to specify a different virtual device for cdroms. It is useful if you want to install a windows system New option for "boot_device" parameter: - "floppy": with this value you should be able to boot a KVM instance from floppy image.
