Description of problem: boot a pre-installed virtio-blk vm and attach a usb storage, set usb-storage's bootindex to 1, virtio-blk's to 2, seabios always try to boot from virtio-blk instead of usb-storage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q qemu-kvm seabios qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.210.el6.x86_64 seabios-0.6.1.2-8.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Assigning to Gleb, that worked on boot priority of USB drives for bug 643688.
Hi chayang, please test with the seabios package at http://people.redhat.com/pbonzini/virtio-scsi -- there is a patch there that might be related to this bug.
