Using virtio devices really only applies to the -M virt machine types.
All the other device types are modelling real hardware with various
specific block devices.

Generally you boot system emulation with a kernel (and maybe an initrd)
as their is no BIOS to boot stuff for you. Modern ARM systems (by which
I mean virt) can be booted with an EFI BIOS (-bios QEMU_EFI.fd) which
will then figure out the best place to boot from and can load the kernel
themselves.
