...linux understands vfat. You can modify them. Smilie

Besides, have you even proven that your installation of qemu is willing to boot a known-good pist. floppy yet? You may be hitting a software incompatibility and not realizing.

I'd never have gotten anywhere making boot ISOs if I hadn't had one good, working example to look at. Having examined a working one, I was able to reverse-engineer it, and now can make them from scratch.. The same goes for initrds. For the boot process to work, everything has to be absolutely perfect because, if it doesn't work, it's mostly incapable of telling you why. The path of most resistance is not a winning plan.

SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWORD-CONSOLE.SERVICE(8) 	       systemd-ask-password-console.service		   SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWORD-CONSOLE.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-ask-password-console.service, systemd-ask-password-console.path, systemd-ask-password-wall.service, systemd-ask-password-wall.path
       - Query the user for system passwords on the console and via wall

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-ask-password-console.service

       systemd-ask-password-console.path

       systemd-ask-password-wall.service

       systemd-ask-password-wall.path

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and
       SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for
       boot.  systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is
       intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.

       See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic.

       Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line
       parameters.

       systemd(1), systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1), wall(1)
