I don't believe I've set a bootindex. Below is the script that I'm using to
start the qemu instances.
#!/usr/bin/bash

echo "usage: ${0##*/} <nework interface>" 1>&2
exit 1

TAP=$(ls /sys/class/net/$1/macvtap 2>/dev/null | grep -m 1 '^tap[0-9]\+$')
if [[ -z $TAP ]]; then
echo "error: network interface '$1' does not appear to be" \
"a macvtap device" 1>&2
exit 1
