proxmox support

[mihailstoynov]

I'm trying to add a builder for proxmox and managed to get halfway.
Here's my current builder for windows_7.

Issues I have:

• drivers
• constant copy of downloaded iso's to proxmox
• boot order

Drivers

• packer's proxmox plugin's documentation is not easy to understand
• it took a while to figure out how add all the ISOs
• windows7 always get's stuck requiring a driver
  • I thought it was a harddisk driver, but in my builder I supplied every possible combination of harddisks: ide/sata/virtio/scsi, raw/qcow2/vmdk
  • yet windows7 wants a driver, but does not say for what:

• supplying viostor and vioscsi doesn't do anything
• I thought I'm crazy, so I used the same win7.iso and manually created a promox vm and the result is:

	IDE	SATA	VIRTIO	SCSI
local:raw	✓	✓	viostor	vioscsi
local:qcow	✓	✓	viostor	vioscsi
local:vmdk	?	✓	viostor	vioscsi
local-zfs:raw	?	✓	viostor	vioscsi

• so drivers work?
• Maybe it wants a driver for something else?
  • my manual win install worked without any additional drivers
• Any ideas?

Constant copy

• every run packer copies the ISOs to promox, win7 iso is 3gb, so every time it is copied.
• temp solution is:
  "iso_url": "https://fedora.......iso", becomes "iso_file": "local:iso/[sha256].iso"
• is there a better way?

Boot Order

• there are three CDs - windows iso, unattended files, fedora's virtio drivers
• I have to constantly change boot order in order to hit the windows iso
• is there a better way?

Keep in mind I started using packer 6h ago, so my config might not be great.

If I manage to get it working I plan to submit a pull request.

It seems to see the harddisks, so the issue is somewhere else:

x:\windows\pantther\setupact.log:

x:\windows\pantther\setuperr.log just contains error from not finding e:\ and the drivers, on this boot they are at d:
