What happens currently is if a drive is not inserted, we won't match any of the drive types (None) or the geometries, so we'll wind up picking the very first drive (1.44MB type) as a default.
This patch makes the default picking a lot more explicit. If a floppy image is inserted, QEMU will continue as it has in the past to choose the drive type based on the image provided.
