I remember reading on the list that there was a security problem with floppy disk images being probed for being in ''raw'' format. What is the syntax for specifying a raw floppy disk image in the latest xen? I''ve tried ''file:'' etc but it doesn''t seem to work...

There was but I fixed it by making floopy images always be expected to
be in raw format.

I think you should be able to say fda=''/path/to/whatever''. I
haven''t
tested this.

It used to work under 3.3.x I converted my raw file to a qcow file and that worked perfectly, so the behaviour is the opposite to what I expected and what you described...

It looks like I accidentally dropped the patch to fix this in the 3.4
merge. Sorry. I have reinstated it in qemu-xen-unstable and
3.4-testing; it''ll be in the next RC.
