Current seabios will try to boot from selected devices first, if they are all failed, seabios will also try to boot from un-selected devices.
For example: @ qemu-kvm -boot order=n,menu=on ...
Guest will boot from network first, if it's failed, guest will try to boot from other un-selected devices (floppy, cdrom, disk) one by one.
We need to make it configurable. This patch added a new type, qemu can add "HALT" at the end of bootindex string, then seabios will halt booting after trying to boot from selected devices.
