So this doesn't work for you:

 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 256 -smp 1 -name lenny -monitor stdio \
     ....
     -drive file=/home/dad/download/debian/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2,boot=on \
     ...

but this works:

 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 256 -smp 1 -name lenny -monitor stdio \
     ...
     -boot d -cdrom /home/dad/download/debian/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso \
     ...
     
Changing this one line fixes the problem?

We can forward the report, no problem - let's just get this as detailed
as possible first.
Thanks for your feedback,
