Not big, 40G.
My current guess is that the problem is not in qemu itself, but in the
bios. If there are no other suggestions, do you think it would be
possible to use IBM bios with qemu ?
BTW, I did not manage to find this error message ("A disk read error
occurred" in the sources - neither qemu, nor bochs bios.
