Added alternative floppy boot command syntax 

The vmware-iso example configuration to load a Kickstart configuration file off of a mounted floppy image is not valid for recent versions of Linux including RHEL7.  The version of Anaconda used no longer supports ks=floppy.

This commit adds an alternative syntax that users can use with more recent version of Linux to source a Kickstart file from a mounted floppy image.
