I did another test disabling the usb controller: it didn't find any 
bootable disk and tried to boot with pxe. I also tried F12 and it 
reported an hard-disk size of 0 MB.
Configuration is correct because if I change the ram size to 2 GB 
instead of 4, it starts correctly.
No additional information from qemu log.
I tried also seabios 1.7.2.2 and master from git, both with same result.
