Yes, I can confirm that this fixes the issue.
What I did to test this:
- tried my boot test, and it failed as before
- git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/kevin/seabios.git
- noticed that this patch is already applied to git
- make clean; make
- cp out/bios.bin ../qemu/pc-bios/bios.bin
- repeated my boot test, and it was successful
Thanks!
Rich.
