SeaBIOS can use VGA on PCIe cards - the problem appears to be that
SeaBIOS isn't scanning all the PCI buses on the machine. Try setting
extra-pci-roots as described previously.

I suspect the problem with USB storage is really just a result of VGA
not working and the behavior of third-party bootloaders when a vgabios
isn't found. See my previous email.
