Since it's now possible to use the -drive option, the test for something in the index 0 of the IDE bus is too restrictive.A better idea, IMHO, is to check if the user specified any bootable device, and only if not, fallback to the default, compatible behaviour of checking hda regardless of the presence of a boot=on arg.
extboot isn't in upstream QEMU yet so this patch won't apply. Regards, Anthony LIguori
