We don't ship the PXE ROM's from KVM as the tarball does not contain the
source for them, so it's a kvm problem, rather than a lbivirt one.

To actually make it work, you need to extract the ROM from the etherboot
packages. A README.PXE-boot should be added to the kvm package some time
soon explaining what to do.
