The windup in vl,c and hw/pc.c is done slightly different, I've added a function to lookupthe boot drive instead of adding a new global variable.I think the function here is high even if the implementation is ugly. In the past, Paul strongly objected to this. Paul, care to comment?Doesn't gpxe support virtio-blk, without requiring any additional qemu "features"?As far I know patches exist but where never merged. Also there is no way to boot from scsi+usb ...
I think Kevin mentioned he would likely to usb boot support for SeaBIOS. Adding virtio-blk support to SeaBIOS would also be pretty reasonable.
SCSI is a bit more tough. Doing an LSI driver in SeaBIOS would be a bit tougher.
