Hi,
when I specify something like
qemu -boot order=dc -cdrom image.iso -drive file=img.raw,if=virtio,boot=yes
or
qemu -boot order=n -cdrom image.iso -drive file=img.raw,if=virtio,boot=yes
with qemu-kvm 0.15.0
it will always directly boot from the hardrive and not from cdrom or
network.
is this on purpose? the behaviour was different in earlier versions.
If i omit the boot=yes in the drive specification the "-boot order"
parameter is working
as expected.
This is the qemu doc file:
http://qemu.weilnetz.de/qemu-doc.html
and this is qemu-kvm man page:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/qemu-kvm
I have never seen the boot=yes as an option to the argument -drive. I
have also checked on previous versions of qemu and I haven't seen it
so I'm puzzled why it should have worked in the first instance.
-drive [file=file][,if=type][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][,index=i]
[,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s[,trans=t]][,snapshot=on|off]
[,cache=writethrough|writeback|none|unsafe][,format=f]
[,serial=s][,addr=A][,id=name][,aio=threads|native]
[,readonly=on|off][,boot=on|off]
use 'file' as a drive image
you cannot boot e.g. from a virtio_blk device without this flag.
