Ah yes. That would probably do it. So I need to make sure that the
buffer cache is flushed (eg async writes in qemu?)... or maybe get qemu
to talk direct to the block subsystem in the same way... any
suggestions? I've already butchered ioemu to get this working so far
(changed the PCI ID's of the IDE interface so Windows won't detect it)
so I'm not afraid of doing more of it :)
Thanks
