Can't feed kickstart file from floppy

[Mauricio Tavares]

So I am trying to deploy a centos guest on a vmware host using packer. I want to feed the kickstart file using the a floppy drive (https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html#floppy_files). So, here is my setup:

# Stolen from the last example in https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html

   "builders": [
    {
      "type": "vmware-iso",
      "guest_os_type" : "{{user `guest_os`}}",
      "iso_url": "{{user `iso_url`}}",
      "iso_checksum_url": "{{user `iso_checksum_url`}}",
[...]
     "floppy_files": [
        "floppy/ks.cfg"
      ],
      "boot_command": [
        "<tab> inst.text inst.ks=hd:fd0:/ks.cfg <enter><wait>"
      ],
      "boot_wait": "8s",
      "shutdown_command": "echo {{user `ssh_pass`}} | sudo -S shutdown -P -h now"
    }
  ]
}

When I run it, it behaves as it cannot find the ks.cfg file and goes to the normal manual setup. Am I missing something here?

Pretty sure floppy support in kickstart was removed in recent versions of EL.
