fwiw same happens when I boot directly from the partition. Ideas
welcome.
Windows is picky about hard disk drivers. The initial installation
seems to install some drivers that get loaded early for your disk
hardware. QEMU emulates a different type of hardware than what you
probably have and so it can't find the root disk once the kernel has
booted. If you change the main disk controller on a real machine, you'll
probably have the same problem.
I'm not aware of a way to fix that, unfortunately. I've generally had to
install my windows images from scratch.
