+qemu 7.0.0 stuck at Windows boot logo with SeaBios and MBR disk
+Description of problem:
+When trying to boot an MBR Windows guest with SeaBios, it is stuck at the blue Windows boot logo, before the loading circle.
+Changing the vGPU doesn't help, 0% cpu load just frozen. Even if I boot a WinPE iso, the same happens.
+Even after 30 minutes, the same.
+Rebooted host multiple times.
+Since SeaBios is the default in qemu and virt-manager I imagine many VMs are installed as MBR and thus will be stuck.
+To boot the VM I have to:
+- switch to UEFI (TianoCore)
+- boot WinPE iso
+- use proprietary software to convert the Windows disk from MBR to GPT
+Then it boots just fine but I imagine not many users will be able to do this.
+Steps to reproduce:
+1. boot Windows image / WinPE iso with SeaBios
