I don't care about the BIOS as long as it works with the hardware that 
QEMU emulates. I am very satisfied with the current Bochs BIOS. The only 
missing stuff is PCI init (it is currently done in QEMU), but it is very 
easy to add.

Of course if other people want to try other BIOSes, they are free to do 
it :-)
