Title:
  WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a second problem:

  I wanted to install Windows Server 2003 on a virtio drive, so I tried
  to start the machine with the install cd as the boot drive and a
  floppy image with the viostor drivers. The problem is, the install cd
  hangs at boot time. If I start VNC I just see a black ground with
  640x480.

  I've also tried this with the install cd of Windows Server 2008 R2 and
  it works!

  Could it be that the BIOS screws up because the older install cds are
  using the floppy emulation to boot the setup?
