To enable booting from PXE, you must obtain a working PXE bios for the emulated card.

I used the "e1000" driver (-net nic,model=e1000).

The image was downloaded from www.rom-o-matic.net. I had luck with "e1000:e1000-82545gm-copper -- [0x8086,0x1026]".

I moved the BIOS image to /usr/share/kvm/pxe-e1000.bin and chose "boot -n" to boot from the network. It worked great.
