Hi Artyom,

Is this a regression? If so, what was the last know good revision?

Doesn't look like a regression. Checked the OpenBIOS image packaged with QEMU
(they didn't update it recently) and it fails too.
Just haven't tested it before. Usually I boot from a CD/DVD image or
load the kernel directly with the -kernel option.

HTH,
