Bug appears on both 0.1.76 and 0.1.81 (and probably it is at least
specific to virtio, if not to more generic nature). BSOD sounds
strange for me, are you using virtio drivers at the install stage or
you trying to change the disk model after installation? I`ve never
went second way, so can`t tell if BSOD is here or not.
