I don't care about the BIOS as long as it works with the hardware that
QEMU emulates. I am very satisfied with the current Bochs BIOS. The only
missing stuff is PCI init (it is currently done in QEMU), but it is very
easy to add.
Of course if other people want to try other BIOSes, they are free to do
it :-)
