have anyone tested the boot order of virtio-scsi devices?

<os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-1.1'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='cdrom'/>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
    <bootmenu enable='no'/>
  </os>


i try to set the boot order with scsi cd-rom first, then scsi harddisk

but the virtual machine will always boot with first scsi device only (unit='0', the scsi harddisk)

is it a known problem?
