I find this user interface confusing. How does one know what "floppycd" means?

I think it'd be much easier to understand if this was a separate option,
something like:

--image-type=TYPE       select floppy or cdrom (default)
--some-option           explain what it does


Good point.

--emulation     create floppy emulation cdrom image


or

--boot-type=(native|emulation)
select cdrom native (default) or floppy emulation boot type
