Now I'd like to ask you guys if you could print the amount of RAM available -- like most other BIOSes out there already do - it would be extremely helpful to aid troubleshooting.

SeaBIOS boots too fast for anything useful to be seen on the screen. That said, one can add "-chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios" to the qemu command line to see the SeaBIOS debugging output. That output has the memory info and much more.

I guess that's then something to propose for libvirt as RFE as an extra argument for <bios useserial='yes' /> we could introduce <bios useserial='debug' /> perhaps.
