I don't think you can - see this Bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488879

However, in the distant past I have done something like:
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-sam</emulator>
Where qemu-sam is:

#!/bin/bash
EXTRAOPTS="-option-rom /path/to/gpxe/rom"
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm $EXTRAOPTS $@

Thanks Sam, I have tried your script but virt-manager returns me this error:
too many option ROMS??

Any hints??

Are you using an e1000 ROM? If so, check out comments #13 and #14 in
this bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509208

(They don't explain why that's expected behaviour - but apparently it
is - possibly it's bigger than 60kb?)

Yes I am using e1000, because I am trying to install a Windows 2008 R2 x86_64 guest. But reading this bugzilla, and if I understand correct, only e1000 fails.

Sombedy has more info??



Ok, I have tried using rom for virtio, e1000 and rtl8139. Error is the same: too many ROMS. Please, somebody from redhat can explains me how can I use gpxe rom under rhel5.4??

Thanks.
