Bug description:
  Hello everyone,

  my qemu doesn't boot any Windows XP/2003 installations if I try to boot the 
image.
  If I boot the install cd first, it's boot manager counts down and triggers 
the boot on it's own. That's kinda stupid.

  I'm using libvirt, but even by a simple
  > qemu-kvm -drive file=image.img,media=disk,if=ide,boot=on
  it won't boot. Qemu hangs at the message "Booting from Hard Disk..."

  I'm using qemu-kvm-0.12.4 with SeaBIOS 0.5.1 on Gentoo (No-Multilib
  and AMD64). It's a server, that means I'm using VNC as the primary
  graphic output but i don't think it should be an issue.
