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?

It would make some things like installing guests, (which tend to want to reboot from the hard disk they've just populated from ether/cd/dvd/whatever), easier.
