# Fix: VM Booting from Floppy Instead of CD-ROM
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
VM keeps trying to boot from floppy drive instead of CD-ROM (ISO).
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution: Remove Floppy and Set Boot Order
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Fix via Proxmox Web UI
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Access Proxmox:** https://192.168.1.206:8006
|
||||
2. **For each VM (100, 101, 102, 103):**
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Remove Floppy Drive**
|
||||
- Click VM → **Hardware** tab
|
||||
- Look for **"Floppy Drive"** or **"floppy0"**
|
||||
- If it exists, click on it → **Remove**
|
||||
- Confirm removal
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Set Boot Order**
|
||||
- Go to **Options** tab
|
||||
- Find **"Boot Order"**
|
||||
- Click **"Edit"**
|
||||
- **Remove floppy from boot order** (if shown)
|
||||
- Set order to: **CD-ROM first, then Hard Disk**
|
||||
- Or type in text field: `order=ide2;scsi0`
|
||||
- Click **OK**
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Verify CD/DVD Drive**
|
||||
- Go back to **Hardware** tab
|
||||
- Verify **CD/DVD Drive (ide2)** exists
|
||||
- Verify it shows: `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
|
||||
- If missing, add it (see ATTACH_ISO_FIRST.md)
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Start VM**
|
||||
- Click **Start**
|
||||
- Open **Console**
|
||||
- Should boot from CD-ROM now!
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative: Use BIOS/UEFI Settings
|
||||
|
||||
If Web UI doesn't work:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start VM**
|
||||
2. **Open Console**
|
||||
3. **Press F2 or Delete** during boot (enter BIOS)
|
||||
4. **Navigate to Boot menu**
|
||||
5. **Disable Floppy** in boot order
|
||||
6. **Set CD/DVD as first boot device**
|
||||
7. **Save and exit**
|
||||
|
||||
### API Fix (Attempted)
|
||||
|
||||
The script `scripts/fix-floppy-boot.sh` has been run to:
|
||||
- Remove floppy drive via API
|
||||
- Set boot order to skip floppy
|
||||
- Configure boot from CD-ROM
|
||||
|
||||
**If it didn't work, use Web UI method above.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Happens
|
||||
|
||||
Proxmox VMs sometimes have a default floppy drive that takes boot priority. The floppy needs to be:
|
||||
1. Removed from hardware, OR
|
||||
2. Removed from boot order
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
After fixing:
|
||||
- ✅ Floppy drive removed (or disabled in boot order)
|
||||
- ✅ Boot order: CD-ROM first
|
||||
- ✅ VM boots from Ubuntu ISO
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
For each VM:
|
||||
- [ ] Hardware tab → Remove floppy drive (if exists)
|
||||
- [ ] Options tab → Boot Order → Remove floppy
|
||||
- [ ] Boot Order → CD-ROM first
|
||||
- [ ] Hardware tab → Verify CD/DVD drive with ISO
|
||||
- [ ] Start VM → Console → Should boot from CD-ROM
