This sounds like https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-08/msg03273.html It's a bug that we fail with this unhelpful message and abort, but the fix to the bug would only cause us to print the more useful "can't execute from a device" instead. You can't execute from a ROM that's not in ROMD mode, I'm afraid. thanks -- PMM
