To boot from a virtio-disk with gPXE you can use my (old) patches:
http://markmail.org/message/qxqvcrzqitpzrsnb
This series of patches adds block device boot support.
The goal is to use gPXE to boot from a virtio-blk device.
This series has been modified to work with Bochs BIOS with/without BCV or PnP
support.
[PATCH 1/4] Move romprefix generic part from arch/i386/prefix/romprefix.S to
arch/i386/prefix/libromprefix.S
[PATCH 2/4] Add block device boot support
[PATCH 3/4] Add virtio-blk driver
[PATCH 4/4] cdrom boot support
Regards,
Laurent
