Sure. I've attached the XML at the end. Here's the non-working
commandline (split into multiple lines for readability):
OK, that looks like a correct translation of <boot dev='hd'/> into device
bootindex so everything is fine on libvirt side.
The console screen says SeaBIOS is 0.6.0 and rpm -q says
"seabios-bin-0.6.0-1.fc14.noarch".
IIRC this is too old to support bootindex. I think at least 0.6.1 is needed
(or maybe even 0.6.2 unless some patches were backported). I wonder why qemu
with bootindex support is shipped with seabios that lacks this support. I'm
not sure what we should do about this.
