What makes you think this won't work? Have you tried it?
Regardless of whether it works or not, it would be nice to have a file
in qemu/pc-bios detailing the revision numbers of the sources taken from
bochs, synced on each update. Something like the output of
cvs status | awk '/^File:/ { file = $2 } /^ Working revision:/ {
printf(%-20s %s\n, file, $3) }'

[Qemu-devel] Fixing ACPI for Vista -- Source code for bios.bin vs. bochs CVS?
We found a way to get 32-bit Vista up on KVM by fixing bios.bin. And I think it should be helpful to qemu as well. However, I'm not sure if the binary file has been created simply by applying bios.diff to the latest bochs CVS tree (actually I doubt it). Can somebody provide a recipe for creating bios.bin from the bochs tree so that we can make a patch? Thanks, Jun --- Intel Open Source Technology Center

Yes, I did, and that did not work. If I try like $ strings bios.bin |grep QEMU Then I get different ones (I had more QEMU occurrences on the bochs side). So I suspected they were built from difference sources. But I'll double-check. Paul Jun --- Intel Open Source Technology Center
