Description
Using the following command on a Linux or a Windows host I get an error:
C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox>vboxmanage storageattach "test" --storagectl "Floppy Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type fdd --medium host:A: Sun VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.1.6 (C) 2005-2010 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. error: Invalid host floppy drive name "A:"
Using the GUI I can attach and access the floppy drive without any problem. Extract from "test.xml":
<StorageController name="Floppy Controller" type="I82078" PortCount="1">
<AttachedDevice type="Floppy" port="0" device="0">
<HostDrive src="A:"/>
</AttachedDevice>
</StorageController>

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.0.4.
