I am not particularly concerned which roms are used so long as they are easily available.

As is it is nearly impossible to find the roms. There are many packages concerning pxe so digging the right one when kvm does not even suggest it is quite difficult.

The etherboot roms are mostly broken but at least the rtl8139 one works in most cases so that's good enough.

Not that ipxe is much better. Either tends to fail miserably if you happen to load the the pxeonly image of ipxe/gpxe and boot using that. With the new ipxe roms there is at least some hope somebody might fix them someday, though.

Note that the ipxe roms need to be padded (eg using truncate) to 32k/64k before they can be used in kvm.
