Because I'm having a major problem with Qemu. I want it to boot from a real floppy disk, but it won't even try to! I don't even see the floppy disk drive LED light up! It immediately goes to:

Boot from Floppy 0 failed

FATAL: Could not read the boot disk.

I have tried VMWare Workstation (4.5, 5, 5.5) and Virtual PC (with SP1) and all that I can say is even though VMWare supports more OSes and more features and is faster, VirtualPC is very smooth and stable.

I'm currently using VirtualPC. It's good enough for eveything I want to do.
