A comparison is visible at http://carnot.yi.org/straceImagevsFd0.png .
Also the cases swapped at http://carnot.yi.org/straceFd0vsImage.png .
The strace outputs compared are 
http://carnot.yi.org/straceQemuImage and http://carnot.yi.org/straceQemuFd0 .

In straceQemuFd0 the fourth from last line is 
stat64("/dev/fd0", ... st_uid=1000, ...
root is running this.  Why not st_uid=0?

Then the last line
open("/dev/fd0", ... (Read-only file system)
The Image is also read-only.  Writing to fd0 or to Image is not necessary.

Definitely.

Hardware is OK and the machine cold boots from the diskette 
whenever tried.

> This return EIO (input/output error), it should not.

OK but I also don't understand the st_uid=1000 mentioned above.

If attachments are preferred I can attach the files.  For now they 
are available from carnot.
