= System disk installation procedure =
== QEMU command line options ==
First of all, a VM needs to be started with the VirtIO block device and boot options enabled:
''-drive file=/image_path/image_name,if=virtio,boot=on''
In addition, a virtual floppy disk with correct Windows drivers must be specified:
''-fda /floppy_image_path/floppy_image_name''
