It is enough for some stuff. But.. > What is the version of SeaBIOS? but it is wheezy, which ships with seabios 1.7.0, which does not have scsi boot support. So in order to boot from scsi, you have to use old ,boot=on device property, which has been forward-ported from older qemu-kvm version to 1.1 version used on debian, because it was the only way at that time to boot from an scsi disk without resorting to using proprietary firmware. So, boot=on as the drive property should do the trick. But I'm not sure it is supported under libvirt. BTW, why are you installing stuff on scsi? Is there some particular reason for that?
