New patch here. Apply directly to qemu cvs (i.e. don't apply any of the older
patches).
I've only tested raw partition images and the vvfat driver (in floppy disk mode
of course) with this, but it should work with any format.
("-hda part:fat:floppy:/dir" is what I used)
Now to hack up a fake bootsector so we can boot vvfat partitions. ;)
