When using host drive (e.g., /dev/fd0) qemu does not detect physical drive if
it is empty. This causes a Windows guest, specifically w2k, to drop the
floppy drive altogether at start-up.
The need to see the disk image before determining the emulated drive type
makes sense for images, but not much for a host drive. The attached patch
short-circuits the initialization process to allow host drive types to reach
the emulated controller hardware. It has been tested and works for W98, W2k,
and Linux guest images.
