This is the qemu doc file:
http://qemu.weilnetz.de/qemu-doc.html

and this is qemu-kvm man page:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/qemu-kvm

I have never seen the boot=yes as an option to the argument -drive. I
have also checked on previous versions of qemu and I haven't seen it
so I'm puzzled why it should have worked in the first instance.

[ BTW this question would be better suited to a qemu-users mailing
list or forum... if there was one... ]
