    How do I boot a virtual machine (no Guest OS installed yet) in virtualbox from a floppy .img file. On the machine window, when I go to devices there is nothing about Floppies there.

    The machine has been set to boot from a floppy as its first choice, however, I think that is meant for a floppy disk drive on the host.

    Whatever I do it says no bootable medium; and I am 100% sure that the img file is bootable, as I have used it in MS VirtualPC and VMware, but both of those have horrible Graphics virtualization.

    VB: 3.2.4 r62467

    Figured it out... Just had to activate Floppies from the storage settings...
