[Qemu-devel] boot order=d bug?

[Carl Karsten]

In the real world I will have a machine with a sata hd and boot the
installer from a usb stick. I want to test this with 2 disk image files.

The usb stick will be built like so:
https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usbstick/scripts/mk_usb_installer.sh

but this will demo the problem I have run into with qemu:  how do I boot
from boot.img without using boot=menu?

# make a blank disk to install to
qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.cow 8G

# get an installer image
wget
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
gunzip boot.img.gz

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -display curses  \
    -drive file=disk.cow,index=0 \
    -drive file=boot.img,index=1 \
    -boot menu=on

# Hit esc and then #2 to boot the installer.

Press ESC for boot menu.
Select boot device:
1. ata0-0: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (8192 MiBytes)
2. ata0-1: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (953 MiBytes)
3. Legacy option rom
4. Floppy [drive A]
5. DVD/CD [ata1-0: QEMU DVD-ROM ATAPI-4 DVD/CD]
6. iPXE (PCI 00:03.0)
