+ Launch command:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -drive 
file=fs.img,index=1,media=disk,format=raw -drive 
file=xv6.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw -smp 2 -m 512
  
- How to reproduce? 
+ How to reproduce?
  1.)  Use/install latest release of qemu (4.2.0 at time of writing)
  
  2.)  Download, build, and run xv6 (a simple os designed for learning
  operating systems fundamentals)
  
  cd /tmp
  git clone https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public.git
  cd xv6-public
  make qemu-nox
  
  3.)  Qemu should now bootloop (seem to try to boot but then just
  repeat). This is what it looks like below before it repeats:
  
  SeaBIOS (version ?-20191223_100556-anatol)

  Suspicion:
  
- When I was using qemu 2.11.1 inside docker, the xv6 os booted with no
- problem. I am thinking that something changed between Qemu 2.11.1 and
- Qemu 4.2.0 which is now causing boot problems.
