Kevin,

The behaviour of the latest block branch is indeed different, but not 
much better.

In my quick manual test, booting via a FreeDOS floppy image:

* latest master: does not seem to read the floppy at all
* latest block: reads the floppy only to the point that 'FreeDOS' is 
printed in the console

All other qemu/qemu-kvm versions tested (for example 0.15.0), 
successfully read and boot the same image.

CR.
