I was thinking that you could specify the harddrive first, and then the cdrom.
That way when you are installing a new os, it would boot to the cd first (since there is no data on the harddrive), and then when the os does its reboot, it then boots off the harddrive.
This prevents the user from having to quit qemu, just to change the boot order to finish the installation.
