Below is what it wrote to my ~/.virtinst/virt-install.log(without the --debug flag but
according to the man page it's the same debug output)
Interesting to see that it generated what looks to be a good .xml but it did not put that
into my libvirt/qemu directory.
Seems it just does not know about booting from a floppy?
If you need something else let me know.
Whoops, this is a virtinst bug. The boot device is actually supposed to
be 'fd', not 'floppy'. Fixed upstream now:
http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/python-virtinst/rev/4d0ea2274ffd
As a work around, you should be able to copy the XML that virtinst was
generating, change 'floppy' to 'fd', virsh define it and proceed from
there. Thanks for the report.
