Public bug reported:
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?
