How can I boot Xen HVM guest from a virtual emulated floppy, using an image file as the floppy?

Code: [Select]
This is the required configuration in "/etc/xen/<hvmguest>" cfgfile:

fda = '/path/to/floppy.img' boot=a
You can also use this cmdline method while creating the guest:

xm create /etc/xen/hvmguest.cfg fda=/path/to/floppy.img boot=a

Important note: Make sure SElinux access restrictions are not blocking access to /path/to/floppy.img!
