is it possible to get back to the "legacy" BIOS instead of the (u)efi based

both disks work properly. I didn't find a way to select the BIOS type in QEMU.
You can specify the BIOS blob to use with the -bios <filename> option.
Not sure about the issue you are describing. SeaBIOS is a BIOS, not
UEFI.

Hi Stefan,
which BIOS is selected by default? It's more a guess, there must be a
change between 1.2.0 and 1.6.0 that prevents a simple Windows XP from
booting completely, if the guest HDD image is placed on a SSD. On a
rotating HDD (with the same commandline except the path to the image) it
boots successfully. The only difference is the speed of the disk access.
I will try an alternative BIOS, maybe this fixes it, if not I will try to
do some regression tests, first trying 1.4.0.
Best regards,
Erik
