[Qemu-devel] Are -cdrom/-hda (or -drive if=ide) supposed to work in q35?

[Michael Tokarev]

Hello.

The question is: are the drive shortcuts - -cdrom, -hda, -hdb etc -
supposed to work in -machine q35 too?  Or are they merely ignored?

  qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -cdrom foo.img

this one does not boot, seabios does not see the cdrom.  The same
applies to

  qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -drive file=foo.img,media=cdrom,if=ide

Should these work?  The fact that they don't, -- is it intentional,
or a bug?

(In both cases it should be fixed - if it is intentional, the documentation
should be updated to reflect the limitation, or if it's a bug, it should
be fixed to let the options to work).

Thanks,
