Do you have todo the check in QEMU itself, or is it possible to add
a hook into your installation method ? If so, then you could use the
virt-inspector tool that comes with libguestfs to probe the install
media and/or disk image to detect the operating system type, and then
avoid starting QEMU at all if not what was expected
