I just ran the same test on the linux box with the similar result. How to reproduce the problem:
mkdir xxx dd if=/dev/zero of=xxx/dummy count=966160 qemu -hda fat:xxx -cdrom cd.iso -boot d (boots ok) dd if=/dev/zero of=xxx/dummy count=966161 qemu -hda fat:xxx -cdrom cd.iso -boot d (qemu could not open hard disk image 'fat:xxx') Any clues how to fix the problem?
