Oops. I through it does, but seems this is only the case for the old & deprecated boot=on (and maybe even that only in qemu-kvm). > qemu: -drive file=winguest.raw,if=virtio,bootindex=1: Invalid parameter > 'bootindex' > > I understand that I probably can replace this single > -drive with 3 parameters -- -device virtio-blk-pci, > -drive if=none, and -device ide-drive. It's two only: -drive if=none,id=<name>,... -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=<name> > Also, still, the question in the $subj: how to make the ahci > drive non-bootable? I think you can't. seabios uses a few numbers just above 100 for the internal default ordering (hd first, then cdrom, then nic, then others) in case no bootindex is specified. So you can try bootindex=200, that should get ahci to the bottom of the boot menu, maybe that is good enougth. cheers, Gerd
