      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Boot a VM with 2 disks (USB and virtio) while specifying the boot order:

      virt-install --os-variant rhel9-unknown --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/boot.iso,bus=usb,boot.order=1 --boot hd --name rtttest --memory 2048 --disk size=10,boot.order=2
      

      The system fails to boot:

      Booting from Hard Disk...
      Boot failed: not a bootable disk
      
      No bootable device.
      

      If I do not specify the virtio disk and have just the USB disk, the VM starts fine.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      virt-install-4.1.0-5.el9.noarch
      libvirt-10.3.0-1.el9.x86_64
      qemu-kvm-9.0.0-3.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      Always

      Steps to reproduce

      1. virt-install --os-variant rhel9-unknown --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/boot.iso,bus=usb,boot.order=1 --boot hd --name rtttest --memory 2048 --disk size=10,boot.order=2

      Expected results

      The VM boots from the USB device.

      Actual results

      Boot failed: not a bootable disk
