This group of options is used to add a floppy disk drive to a virtual machine and to modify the existing virtual floppy disk drive.

Syntax

{ --device <dev_name> | --image <file> }

[ --enable | --disable ] [ --connect | --disconnect ]

Options

Name	Description
`<vm_ID\|vm_name>`	The virtual machine ID or name.
--device-add fdd	Adds a new floppy disk drive to the virtual machine. You can connect only one floppy disk drive to a virtual machine.
--device-set fdd0	Modifies the parameters of an existing virtual floppy disk drive.
--device `<dev_name>`	The name of the physical floppy disk drive to connect to the virtual machine. If this parameter is omitted, a floppy drive image emulating the floppy disk drive will be created.
--image `<file>`	The name and path of an existing floppy disk image file (usually `floppy.fdd` ) to mount in the virtual machine.
--enable	Enables the specified floppy disk drive. All newly added floppy drives are enabled by default (provided the `--disable` option was omitted during the drive creation).
--disable	Disables the specified floppy disk drive. The drive itself is not removed from the virtual machine configuration.
--connect	Connect the specified floppy disk drive automatically during the virtual machine startup process.
--disconnect	Use this option if you don't want the specified floppy disk drive automatically connected to the virtual machine on its start.
