I'm migrating a Linux vm from VMware to smartOS. The vm uses an LSI Logic Parallel controller. When I try to boot the vm. Seabios shows:
Booting from Hard Disk ...
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk

I believe that this is because seabios does not have the boot rom for LSI53C895A. I am able to see the drive using a rescue DVD image.

I'm going to try booting the system with qemu option "-option-rom 8xx_64.rom". I'm not sure where to put the rom file. Is it in /zones/uuid/root/
