Option -no-fd-bootchk asks the BIOS to attempt booting from a floppy
even when the boot sector signature isn't there, by setting a bit in
RTC CMOS. It was added back in 2006 (commit 52ca8d6a).
Two years later, commit 0ecdffbb added monitor command boot_set.
Implemented by new function pc_boot_set(). It unconditionally clears
the floppy signature bit in CMOS.
Commit e0f084bf added -boot option once to automatically change the
boot order on first reset. Reuses pc_boot_set(), thus also clears the
floppy signature bit. Commit d9346e81 took care to preserve this
behavior.
Thus, -no-fd-bootchk applies to any number of boots. Except it
applies just to the first boot with -boot once, and never after
boot_set. Weird. Make it stick instead: set the bit according to
-no-fd-bootchk in pc_boot_set().
