Screenshot of odd character in SeaBIOS string (VNC) Edit (6.9 KiB, image/png)

Ran into this problem today with fresh Windows 2003 R2 install on a IDE boot drive. Because the CD-ROM boot bypasses this problem the install completes just fine, until I tell it to boot from the hard disk (via libvirt).

Latest available packages from Debian testing;

qemu 0.12.4+dfsg-3
qemu-kvm 0.12.4+dfsg-1
qemu-system 0.12.4+dfsg-3
qemu-user 0.12.4+dfsg-3
qemu-utils 0.12.4+dfsg-3
seabios 0.5.1-3

The only thing I've been able to find so far is an odd character in the SeaBIOS string when booting from the hard disk, which isn't there when booting from the CD-ROM image.
