The standard way to rebuild Fedora packages is 'fedpkg clone' (which is
just a helper around 'git clone', then 'fedpkg local' to build them.

Fedora applies a patch to use a prebuilt bios.bin from their SeaBIOS
package instead of a build from within the Xen build tree; I've hacked
that further to set SEABIOS_ROM=/home/dwmw2/git/seabios/out/bios.bin
instead. Then 'make' in the tools/firmware/hvmloader directory, check
with 'strings' that my own build is actually in there, and add the
firmware_override line to the config as you suggested.

There is no change in behaviour; I still get 35 seconds of 'Daemon
running with PID xxxx' and then it exits. I've enabled both debug-port
*and* serial debug (at 0x3f8) in my SeaBIOS build.
