This seems overkill doesn't it?
I'm using the following instead
BOOT=fat:$PREFIX/run-ovmf/hda-contents2
-cdrom ${ISO} -hda ${BOOT} -hdb ${PREFIX}/mac_hdd_raw.img
anyway,
it looks like the pci device paths are the same, but not all filesystems are
detected which leads me to believe that ide mode is either not correctly
initialized or there is another another channelcount error
