Not sure of the Windows syntax for a floppy - fda? Maybe something like this 
in your domu config:

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/fd0,fda,w', ... ], or
disk = [ 'file:floppy.img,fda,w' ... ]

I just noticed that my Fedora system doesn't have the /dev/fd0* devices, tho' 
my SuSE system does. Maybe they are hotplugged.
