Public bug reported: $ kvm -boot order=c /tmp/disk.img -curses
you'll see somthing like: | | SeaBIOS (version pre-0.6.3-20111117_190135-rothera) | | iPXE (http://ipxe.org) 00:03.0 C900 PCI2.10 PnP PMM+17FC94C0+17F894C0 C900 | Press Ctrl-B to configure iPXE (PCI 00:03.0)... That sits there for 2 to 3 seconds (per NIC), and slows boot down by that much. You can work around this by: $ ( rm -Rf x && mkdir x && cd x && ln -sf /usr/share/qemu-kvm/* . && rm pxe* ) $ kvm -boot order=c -L x -curses which basically just makes kvm think there are no pxe boot roms, which would be found in /usr/share/qemu-kvm/ as provided by kvm-ipxe. I'd like some way to skip that configure step, since I am explicitly not booting from pxe.
