Thanks to both, I knew the DOSEMU stuff, and was new to VirtualBox!! Incidentally, some minutes later I've found it, it is called DiskMount: http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/diskmount_ws_v55.html
and it is a pure commandline tool that works acceptably ok. It does just that: mounts the disk onto a "My PC" drive letter (I haven't tried yet how it would react to a disk with multiple partitions). You cannot have it mounted as you run the VM, but for me it is ok, as I just want to replace the floppy. Thanks again!
