Hi all,

As I know, native tool does not support loading BIOS so it does not
support Windows. Is this supporting now?
If not, I may try to implement it.

Thanks,
Yang

Nope yet. There was a plan to implement seabios support,
but nothing is done that far. Feel free to implement such
support.

Yup, optional SeaBIOS support would be awesome!

You're welcome to do so ;-). This would open the door for non-linux OS
support in kvm tool.

Also, to loading the kernel from /boot, and so allowing for the normal
distro kernel update mechanism to work.
