Hi all.

In some rare cases I would like to be able to boot off what will essentially 
be /dev/hdc in Qemu (this is because the machine the image I boot is meant 
for uses hdc for flash cards).
In 0.6.0 that is not possible since -boot c = /dev/hda and -boot d = cdrom.
Could this functionality be expanded somewhat without too much trouble?
I guess something like -boot hd:1-4 (maybe hd:0-3?)  and ditto cd: or cdrom: 
entries? Can I somehow force this to happen? Maybe with a floppy image 
booting off hdc? 

Thanks for a great project. Immensely interesting...

/Martin.
