I can perform "Does it boot" tests on virtual hardware, and maybe also
on real hardware, but that is more time-consuming.

Booting with '-drive if=virtio,media=cdrom,...' now works in qemu, so
that confirms that virtio works in initramfs.

After initramfs completed, virtio always worked properly.

Again, I can offer boot-tests here, I may need to buy a new stick, as
all of my current ones are in use somewhere.


Tests I performed so far:
Booting archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-dual.iso in i686 and x86_64 mode
on qemu with a virtio CD drive and with an 'IDE emulation' CD drive.

I don't have the time to actually test installations though. I
performend an installation with an older AIF snapshot (end of Feb. or
beginning of March), which was entirely fine.
