It would help if you could post the seabios log.  The easiest way to
get at that is to add the following to the qemu command line:

-chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios

It's also possible to recompile seabios with the debug level
increased to get more info on specific calls.
