Aren't there versions of windows which /only/ support "floppy", which
would require us to preferentially use "cdrom" but fallback to "floppy"

Not for many, many years.  Even Windows 2000 enabled you to burn a CD with a winnt.sif answer file on it; I've not checked further back.  How far back do we wish to support?
