eepro100_register_devices() references three option roms:
- gpxe-eepro100-80861209.rom
- gpxe-eepro100-80861229.rom
- gpxe-eepro100-80862449.rom
The last one seems to be missing because it's not in the pc-bios directory.

Yes, it is missing. I did not add it for several reasons:
* The new variant i82801 (which needs the missing ROM) is currently not
available
via model=i82801 (it can be selected by experts using other methods).
* Experts can get the missing ROM from ROM-o-matic.
* All three ROMs differ only in one or two bytes (device id). That's a waste
of binary space (56832 bytes!). Therefore I plan to remove all but
the first
ROM file. The missing ones can be created by make or patched on the
fly by
QEMU during load. Maybe it is also possible to create ROM files which
support
more than one vendor/device entry - that would be the best solution.
Regards
Stefan
