 I'm open to suggestion here - the pullup itself is not strictly necessary,
 as the bootloader extensions have not been pulled up to -8 either
 and this just works with latest qemu as long as you only emulate
 a single hard disk.
 
 However, with two hard disks you get the same old failure as with old
 qemu:

 If you like we can pull it all up, but this needs more testing first.
