Ran into this problem today with fresh Windows 2003 R2 install on a IDE
boot drive. Because the CD-ROM boot bypasses this problem the install
completes just fine, until I tell it to boot from the hard disk (via
libvirt).

Latest available packages from Debian testing;

qemu 0.12.4+dfsg-3
qemu-kvm 0.12.4+dfsg-1
qemu-system 0.12.4+dfsg-3
qemu-user 0.12.4+dfsg-3
qemu-utils 0.12.4+dfsg-3
seabios 0.5.1-3

The only thing I've been able to find so far is an odd character in the
SeaBIOS string when booting from the hard disk, which isn't there when
booting from the CD-ROM image.
