This is the core issue - you're giving the floppy a harddisk name

This should be
<disk type='file' device='floppy'>
<source file='/tmp/tmpkmVdz3.floppy'/>
<target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
</disk>

I think you'll need to at least give a device name.
libvirt fills in the bus, based on device name if you leave it out
