>>From what I can tell SeaBIOS is reading CMOS_BIOS_BOOTFLAG1 and
CMOS_BIOS_BOOTFLAG2 from non-volatile memory.  The values index into
bev[], which contains IPL entries (the drives).

Is the order of bev[] entries well-defined?  Is there a way for QEMU
command-line to know that the first virtio-blk device corresponds to x
and the IDE CD-ROM corresponds to y?
