  Hi folks,

Is it possible to boot from non-ide disks? kvm has extboot and the -drive ...,boot=on syntax to use it. That isn't in upstream qemu though. Is there another way to boot from non-ide disks? Or is extboot just not yet merged? Or are there other plans?

cheers,

For LSI53C895A scsi you can try to get the LSI rom (8xx_64.rom) working.
I tried it some time ago, but didn't get too far because the scsi controller
emulation isn't flawless yet. I posted one of the needed patches [1].
