It's currently a quite complicated setup. I used a virtual SCSI disk.
However Linux is happy with it and does not crash.

Also I got an assert even using scsi-hd directly (I had to disable
multipathd). It seems that the LSI Qemu driver assert when code try to
send two commands (second without waiting first completion).

Attached error with trace enabled (err.txt) and serial output with
SeaBIOS debug level set to 8.

To support these 4kb disk in SeaBIOS I just changed the line in src/blockcmd.c

   if (drive->blksize != DISK_SECTOR_SIZE) {

to

   if (drive->blksize != DISK_SECTOR_SIZE && drive->blksize != 4096) {
