            Bug ID: 216009
           Summary: Floppy does not work under KVM
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: miguelcastellanos@hotmail.es

My KVM system uses the virtual floppy drive of KVM virtual machines to inje=
ct
the network configuration into the guest operating system.

This approach works fine on Linux and Windows Virtual Machines, however Fre=
eBSD
is not able to recognize the Floppy device.

The following messages appears at dmesg:

fdc0: <floppy drive controller (FDE)> port 0x3f2-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on
acpi0
fdc0: does not respond
device_attach: fdc0 attach returned 6
fdc0: No FDOUT register!

The corresponding qemu command at the Host operating system is called using=
 the
following parameters:

-drive file=3D/tmp/vm.floppy,if=3Dfloppy,format=3Draw=20

where /tmp/vm.floppy is a DOS formatter floppy image file.

Thanks for your help and time.

Miguel
