It seems a good idea.

The bochs rombios has supported attempting to boot from more than one
device for a while.  It seems like it would make sense to be able to
specify "-boot acd" as an argument for qemu to try booting first from
the floppy, then the cd and finally the hard drive to make things more
like a "real" machine.  Does this seem reasonable?

If there's interest in this, I can clean up the patch I've started[1]
and send it on.

[1] The patch is against the pseudo-fork of qemu being used in Xen so I
need to do some rediffing as well as update the non-PC machine
initializations for the change
