Forgot to mention: 1. For 2.3!
2. Testing without a physical floppy: # > /dev/fd0 # chown armbru /dev/fd0 $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -fda /dev/fd0 qemu-system-x86_64: -fda /dev/fd0: Host floppy pass-through is deprecated Support for it will be removed in a future release. WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/dev/fd0' and probing guessed raw. Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted. Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions. The long lines are ugly, but not this patch's fault :)
