Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

Package: qemu-kvm

The "once" parameter does not seem to work with the "-boot" option.

To reproduce:
create an image file to be used as a hard disk:
qemu-img create test-img 1G

Starting a VM guest using "once" + "order" ignores the "once":
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda test-img -m 4G -smp 2 -enable-kvm -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -name test-vm -boot order=c,once=n

Starting a VM guest using "once" ignores the "once":
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda test-img -m 4G -smp 2 -enable-kvm -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -name test-vm -boot once=n

Starting a VM guest without "once" works fine:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda test-img -m 4G -smp 2 -enable-kvm -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -name test-vm -boot order=n
