Rebase of Seabios will be needed to support this feature. I have opened bug #666922 for the rebase. Dependencies were set so this bug depends on the rebase. Verified on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.144.el6.x86_64 and seabios-0.6.1.2-3.el6.x86_64. PASS. Steps: 1. Decide boot order for multiple block and NIC devices 2. Boot by passing boot order decided 3. Change boot order, and repeat step 1 and step 2 CLI e.g. /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive file=disk1.img,if=none,id=disk1 \ -device ide-drive,drive=disk1,bootindex=4 \ -drive file=disk2.img,if=none,id=disk2 \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk2,bootindex=3 \ -netdev tap,id=net0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=xxxx,bootindex=2 \ -netdev tap,id=net1 -device e1000,netdev=net1,mac=yyyy,bootindex=1 \ -drive file=OS.iso,if=none,id=os,media=cdrom,format=raw \ -device ide-drive,drive=os,id=ide0-0-1,bootindex=0 \ -drive if=none,file=fda.img,id=fda -drive if=none,file=fdb.img,id=fdb \ -global isa-fdc.bootindexB=30 -global isa-fdc.bootindexA=40 Manual test runs: https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/16935/ https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/16934/ An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
