[Bug 591423] Re: qemu -drive boot=on flag causes boot to hang.

[Mike Mestnik]

After reading the posted email thread, I've come to the conclusion that
the -boot argument is missdocumented/missleading.  In actuality it's "c"
parameter is more like the "boot from first or selected hard disk" and
"d" would be "boot from first or selected cdrom".

I think it would be best to remove this parameter, perhaps replacing it
with a parameter to force a particular behavior(like the option to what
format a block device is in).  The boot sequence should attempt a cdrom
boot, since this would fail quickly I'd imagine if the image was not an
iso.  Then booting the device like a hard disk or crash trying.
