Hi,

I'm working on the proxmox 2.0 distribution (kvm distrib) and I'm trying to boot from scsi device with qemu 1.0.

since this patch

Remove extboot support -- Linux KVM
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg61865.html


it does'nt work anymore.


I know I can use lsi rom with

-option-rom 8xx_64.rom  


But isn't it possible to use another GPL compliant alternative ? 

Best regards,

Alexandre Derumier

It is, e.g. via native support in SeaBIOS. But someone has to implement
that. Or motivate a third party to do this.
