Heya,

I built QEMU from this commit:

    $ git log | head -2
    commit 50809c8b9288a9bfe1fdec926b7ef985608a7ea6
    Merge: 4e627ae ae74bbe


And, attempted to boot a Fedora guest via this QEMU CLI results as
below:

    $ /usr/local/sbin/qemu-system-x86_64 -s -S -nographic \
      -nodefconfig -nodefaults -machine accel=kvm -m 3000 \
      -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-x86_64-20-20140407-sda.qcow2,if=ide,format=qcow2,cache=none \
      -serial stdio
    qemu: could not load PC BIOS 'bios-256k.bin'


That's the seabios-bin version:

    $ rpm -q seabios-bin
    seabios-bin-1.7.4-3.fc21.noarch


That's how I build QEMU:

    $ git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
    $ mkdir -p ~/build/qemu && cd ~/build/qemu
    $ ~/src/qemu/./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu \
      --disable-werror --enable-debug 
    $ make -j4


Any hints as to why can't QEMU load the BIOS in this case?
