Hi Chris,

I was bited by the same problem. Some of my VMs did not restart after 
upgrade. The first thing I did was to hit F12 inside qemu BIOS to alter 
boot order, and set it to virtio for example. But now, thanks to your 
post, I changed the boot order inside Promox web interface. Surely, the 
hard drive was not set in boot order, but the VM started automatically 
on hard drive.

It happens only on two VM for me, but I think it should be added in the 
changelog of Proxmox 3.4.
