I think there is another fix to be made as well as this one to get floppy working. My experimenting shows that libvirt is producing a command line including:

 -drive file=/tmp/my-floppy-disk-image,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0 \

 -global isa-fdc.driveA=fdc0-0-0, but what qemu / qemu-kvm expects here is ... ,if=floppy ...


When I make that change the guest then sees the floppy. Without it, the guest does boot up, but doesn't get a floppy device.
