Screenshot of VM

I have self-built virt-tools from git master. If I launch the following commandline:

---Commandline-----

virt-install --connect qemu:///system --virt-type kvm --graphics spice --cdrom /home/zeenix/ISOs/en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14-80428.iso --disk pool=default,format=qcow2,size=2 --disk device=floppy,path=/home/zeenix/floppy.img --boot cdrom,fd,hd --vcpus 1 --ram 500 --name Microsoft-Windows-XP --os-variant winxp --debug

---End of Commandline-----

I get the following output:

Everything seems to be in order but VM is trying to boot from hard-disk first and then floppy and therefore failing (as depicted in the attached picture).
