From 0d92d17a6d0d65af8cb905bdd5f9e04e210564ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 14:51:43 -0300 Subject: Issue warning when deprecated drive parameter boot=on|off is used Releases of qemu-kvm will be interrupted at qemu 1.3.0. Users should switch to plain qemu releases. To avoid breaking scenarios which are setup with command line options specific to qemu-kvm, port these switches from qemu-kvm to qemu.git. Port drive boot option. From the qemu-kvm original commit message: We do not want to maintain this option forever. It will be removed after a grace period of a few releases. So warn the user that this option has no effect and will become invalid soon.
