Installation

hello

I want run stable m0n0wall 1.3 with different settings in a virtual machine.
Therefore I want to use the m0n0wall cd iso image and store the settings at a floppy image, one image for each config for different needs.

That is also the reason because I dont want to use the provided vmware image.

Problem: m0n0wall do not detect the floppy image. I tried it with the following Virtual Machines: VMWare Server 2, VirtualBox 3.1.2 and latest qemu.

Always I got the warning: no fat formatted floppy inserted so settings will be lost at next start

The image is ok because I can mount it with my normal linux an handle it like a normal floppy.

Is there a bug in m0n0wall 1.3? I ask because I remember that I used a m0n0wall 1.2** a few times ago in a virtual machine with floppy for the config.


Is there anything I can do?

Thank you for your help
