Hi Serge,

     Thanks for looking into this.

     I am using amd64 so I'll try out the fix.
     Using "once" did not work for me even if there wasn't a valid OS on
the hard drive.
     I'm OK with an importance of "low", I was using the workaround of
simply stopping the qemu-kvm after the first boot of "-boot order=n" and
starting it again with "-boot order=c". I'll check out your workaround
of "-boot priority=cn" although I was not even aware of the "priority"
parameter - I don't see it in the man page.

Thanks,
Deric
