+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #805413 +++ Description of problem: KVM supports booting from host USB devices (both directly attached and redirected over IP). However, it does not support assigning a boot index to them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.10 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Here is a sample command line for the usb-host case: x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vga cirrus -readconfig ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg -device usb-host,bus=ehci.0,vendorid=0x0a16,productid=0x2499,bootindex=2 /path/to/disk.img -boot menu=on 2. 3. Actual results: Error "Property 'usb-host.bootindex' not found" Expected results: USB host device comes second in the boot menu
<boot order='...'/> already supported for PCI assigned devices.
The QEMU bug was moved to RHEL7, so moving this one too.
Boot order for USB hostdev devices works upstream: commit a4c19459aa8634c43b51e8138fb1d7eec4c17824 Author: Ján Tomko <jtomko> AuthorDate: 2012-11-14 15:51:30 +0100 Commit: Eric Blake <eblake> CommitDate: 2012-11-14 19:03:18 -0700 qemu: add bootindex for usb-host and usb-redir devices however usb-redir will require more work. Documentation and tests will follow after that.
