Dear Adam,

if you find out what exactly that is, I'm sure you'll make many people 
happy. Nobody I know of has figured that out so far (with regard to 
other VMs like qemu).

Right - and my guess is, that's why Gordon suggested using a CD instead 
of using a floppy image. I never managed to get the Kernel 2.6 version 
of Leaf to boot on qemu myself, but I didn't try all that hard. Once I 
found out that I could make it boot by specifying a kernel and initrd on 
the command line, and it booted that way, that was fine for me. See 
http://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg09150.html 
  for details. It's not exactly the same as you're seeing (since this 
was about qemu hanging when trying to boot from harddisc, but still).

Basically, you can try to debug Hyper-V, if you care enough, and have 
the time, or you could try to work around it. And using a boot CD sounds 
like something worth trying, since it shouldn't cause a ton of extra 
effort, and it might work.
