Hi,
Currently there is no support in seabios to boot pvscsi.
What we did was a workaround.
We've reverted the patch which removes extboot support [2a06024dc1b1e27b1be0266379af397e61b4a9ad]
and used -drive ...boot=on --option-rom extboot.bin to boot the pvscsi disk.
Best Regards,
Evgeny

Hello Dmitry,
Is PVSCSI also ready to boot through BIOS Int 13h?
If not, do you plan a SEABIOS patch?
Thnx.
Ciao,
Gerhard

Below is the implementation of VMWare PVSCSI device and
command line parameters to configure vendor name and product name
for SCSI storage are implemented.
Latter is needed to make PVSCSI storage devices look exactly as
on VMWare hypervisors.
With this and VMWARE3 patches V2V migration problem for VMWare
images should be solved relatively easy.
PVSCSI implementation is based on Paolo Bonzini code sumbitted
some time ago but never applied.
See commit messages and file headers for details.
Implementation supports of all the device features.
Code was tested on different OSes:
Fedora 15
Ubuntu 10.4
Centos 6.2
Windows 2008R2
Windows 2008 64bit
Windows 2008 32bit
Windows 2003 64bit
Windows 2003 32bit
Dmitry Fleytman (5):
Utility function strpadcpy() added
Vendor name and product name parameters for SCSI devices Options
"vendor_name" and "product_name" added for SCSI disks.
Header with various utility functions shared by VMWARE SCSI and
network devices
PVCSI paravirtualized device implementation
PVSCSI paravirtualized device integration Bus type "pvscsi"
added.
