Debian Wheezy denotes an ATA disk as /dev/sdx.
https://wiki.debian.org/Persistent_disk_names
Likewise for a USB flash store.

This QEMU assumes my /dev/sda is a SCSI?  Certainly a possible explanation.  
In my imagination, the Debian port of QEMU recognizes Debian naming 
conventions.  Perhaps not but a solution using "-disk" will help.

Thanks,              ... Peter E.
