Interesting! That works. But how can it be that 'boot=on' in "-drive"
can cause such a failure? If a command line option would have been
deprecated, I would rather expect to see a command-line parsing error.
Looks more like a bug to me:
-drive [file=file][,if=type][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][,index=i]
[,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s[,trans=t]][,snapshot=on|off]
[,cache=writethrough|writeback|none][,format=f][,serial=s]
[,addr=A][,id=name][,aio=threads|native]
[,boot=on|off]
At least the help text still shows this option and it was working with
qemu-kvm-0.12.0-rc2
