Helps when you want to boot PXE without a boot enabled NIC as well as
when you want to use a floppy/usb/cdrom/hdd/taco as the first stage of
a PXE boot with or without static arguments.

If you're familiar with QEMU/KVM you'll note that there is a -kernel
-initrd and -append option that lets you test things quickly.
VirtualBox, VMware, QEMU/KVM support network booting as well so you
can further your tests.
