using qemu.git tip today I can boot into win2k3 32-bit install with an
attached floppy:

x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L pc-bios -cdrom 
/scratch/isos/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterp
rise_cd1.iso -fda /scratch/isos/winparavirt.img -boot d -vnc :9 -monitor stdio 
-enable-kvm

Can you try with upstream qemu.git and -enable-kvm

Bug description:
I have a second problem:

I wanted to install Windows Server 2003 on a virtio drive, so I tried to start 
the machine with the install cd as the boot drive and a floppy image with the 
viostor drivers. The problem is, the install cd hangs at boot time. If I start 
VNC I just see a black ground with 640x480.

I've also tried this with the install cd of Windows Server 2008 R2 and it works!

Could it be that the BIOS screws up because the older install cds are using the 
floppy emulation to boot the setup?
