      Use floppy disk and a second CDROM on KVM · cc130cc7
      Marco Casavecchia authored
      
      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.
