Later it would be better to handle it at the NIC level, but it is more complicated (some BIOS patches would be needed to remap the PCI ROM at the right address for example). I think the -boot n option should be merged in QEMU too. Some people need it to make tests. Regarding VMI, I began some work in this area with kqemu but I did not manage to find time to finish it (VMI in QEMU would enable to run Linux VMs with performance levels close to Xen at the expense of a patched kernel).
