$ qemu -kernel /dev/null
A disk image must be given for 'hda' when booting a Linux kernel
Violació de segment
The following code is causing it:
if (bdrv_read(bs_table[0], 0, old_bootsect, 1) >= 0) {
/* copy the MSDOS partition table */
memcpy(bootsect + 0x1be, old_bootsect + 0x1be, 0x40);
}
bdrv_set_boot_sector(bs_table[0], bootsect, sizeof(bootsect));
I have tried conditionalising this code with "if (bs_table[0] != NULL)", but
qemu really needs to have a device somewhere for the implicit "-boot xx" to
work.
I would then suggest that instead of exiting, we just add some clarification
to the message, like:

snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s/%s", bios_dir, LINUX_BOOT_FILENAME);
(yes, this works fine)
