Without "-drive boot=on" but with "-boot order=c" I cannot even boot
from a virtio disk (-drive if=virtio). The workaround with "-boot
order=c" and without "-drive boot=on" works for IDE disks, but not for
virtio (another Linux VM I am running beside that Windows 7 VM).

Maybe I am missing something. So I am looking forward to the next
qemu-kvm-0.12.x and hope for a fix.
